The best thing you could do is to have two offers. In that case the companies bid for you on the perceived value you will provide them. And you turn the table.

The best thing you could do is to have two offers. In that case the companies bid for you on the perceived value you will provide them. And you turn the table. Btw - anecdotal evidence points that is a way to get a raise too - company Y is offering X,Z and C. Can you top it so I can stay here?
- meddlepal 10y agoI would not recommend the raise strategy unless you have a very impersonal relationship with your manager OR you're 100% willing and able to walk (e.g. offer is in front of you and can be signed that day). Managers are human beings too and don't like being put at gunpoint by their employees. It's very much the nuclear option IMO.
- venomsnake 10y agoIf I had good relationship with my manager, he would have offered a raise without me having to ask for it. What is your leverage if you don't have competing offer?
