Compare a Counteroffer From Your Current Employer Against a New Job Offer
The counteroffer arrives the moment you hand in notice, and the number alone is not the whole comparison. This weighs what genuinely changes against what stays the same, checks it against how counteroffers usually play out, and asks whether it fixes what actually pushed you to look elsewhere in the first place.

**Compare** the two options:
1. What each actually changes: pay, role, team, growth, and what stays the same
2. The track record of counteroffers at this kind of company (be honest about the general pattern, not just the number)
3. What prompted the external job search in the first place, and whether the counteroffer fixes that or just the pay
4. A recommendation with the two clearest reasons behind it
