🚨 The Do’s & Don’ts of Accepting a Counteroffer 🚨

Thinking about accepting a counteroffer? 🤔 Before you say “yes,” consider these do’s and don’ts:

✅ DO evaluate why you're leaving. Is more money enough, or are there deeper issues (growth, culture, leadership)?

✅ DO get everything in writing. If they promise changes, make sure they follow through.

✅ DO consider the long-term. Will this counteroffer improve your career, or is it just a short-term fix?

❌ DON’T ignore past frustrations. If you were ready to leave, will more money or a title change truly fix things?

❌ DON’T burn bridges. If you’ve already accepted another job, backing out could hurt your reputation.

❌ DON’T assume job security. Studies show that most employees who accept counteroffers leave within 6-12 months anyway.

A counteroffer can feel flattering, but make sure you're making the right decision for your future! 🚀 What’s your take—would you ever accept one? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️ #CareerGrowth #Counteroffer #JobChange
