Decide Whether to Accept a Counter-Offer From Your Employer

You handed in your notice and they came back with more money. It is flattering, and most people who accept a counter-offer are gone within a year anyway. This helps you read what the counter-offer reveals about why you wanted out, so you decide on the real issue rather than the pay rise dangled to make it go quiet.
