Do Not Take a Counteroffer Without Asking Why It Took Your Resignation

When you hand in your resignation and your employer suddenly offers more money, a better title, or a new role, ask one question: why did it take me threatening to leave for you to value me properly? If they knew you were worth more and chose not to pay it, the underlying dynamic hasn't changed.

Statistically, most people who accept counteroffers leave within a year anyway. The reasons you wanted to leave rarely disappear just because the number on your paycheck changed.
