ConsenseShould I accept a counter offer from my current employer?
A counter offer fixes the price of the job, not usually the reasons you started looking. The decision turns on whether those reasons were about pay or about the work, the manager or the growth path.

What actually decides it
Why were you leaving?
If it was compensation alone, a match may resolve it. If it was scope, manager or growth, a raise rarely changes them.
How it changes trust
Some employers quietly treat a counter-accepter as a flight risk. Consider how your standing may shift.
The new offer on its own merits
Compare the two roles as if the counter didn't exist: learning, team, trajectory and total compensation.
Was it offered only because you resigned?
If the raise required a resignation to happen, ask what else has been withheld.
What would change the answer
- A written change in role, not just salary
- Concrete promotion timing
- The new offer being a lateral move rather than a step up
