So you had made your mind up that you wanted to look for another job. You updated your CV, posted it to loads of jobs boards and following a few interviews have been offered a position within a new company. You then have to hand your notice in to your current employer and schedule a meeting to do so. Whilst in the meeting your employer tells you that they don’t want to lose you and offer you more money to stay.
This is a dilemma many of us have found ourselves in.
Firstly you need to decide if it was only money that made you want to leave and look for new work? If it was then you also need to weigh up the future prospect for working for either company. If it wasn’t just money can the other issues be sorted out and will your current employer address them? These are all things that need to be thought about when deciding to stay or to go to a new job.
