Decide Whether to Accept a Counteroffer from Your Current Employer

You've handed in your notice and now they're waving more money and warm words at you. This walks you through why you decided to leave, whether the counteroffer fixes that or just papers over it, and what the retention odds really look like. Agnostic about what you choose. For anyone tempted to stay because being wanted feels nice.

**Structure the decision:**
1. Why did you decide to leave in the first place? Has that reason been addressed?
2. Is the counteroffer fixing the problem or buying silence?
3. What will your relationship with your employer look like in three months if you stay?
4. What are you giving up at the new role if you stay?
5. Verdict: stay or go, with the key deciding factor
