Hello all,
As the title says, this week I went to put in my 2 weeks notice at my current role at a large consulting firm as I have recently accepted a new offer. My current pay is 73K and the new offer is for 110K base with a bonus of 5K.
When I told my leadership team, they said they really wanted to try and keep me in my role and told me they would have conversations with HR to see what they could do. I shared that my main motivator for leaving was the monetary aspect.
Today, my company leadership presented me with an offer from their side. They said they would bump my current pay up by 10K (bringing me to 83K) immediately and give me a 3K bonus. They then stated that they would put me up for an off-cycle promotion in early summer as they said there should be a spot for me, and with the typical promotion raise this should bring my base to 100-110K.
I am extremely conflicted for several reasons:
-
When I asked if I could get something in writing about the promotion, they said no matter what they do, they would never be able to get something like that in writing.
-
The one uncertain area about the company who made me the original offer is the work-life balance. I have no idea what management is like there as everyone puts on a nice face for recruiting. I feel valued at my current company, and I'm worried I will have serious imposter syndrome at my new company.
-
I'm so worried I will feel like a fool for not taking an immediate guaranteed raise of 37K, but I genuinely love my company and would stay in a heartbeat if they could just match my offer (which they said they can't do because I would be too far out of the pay band).
I would love to hear your advice. My plan is to at least counter and see if they would immediately bring my base up to 90K (or at least give me an immediate bonus larger than 2.5K). I need something to give me peace of mind if the off-cycle promotion wouldn't happen.
