"2. Exclusively 1-2 year tenures - This person is trying to jump around to maximize salary (and isn't able to convince their current employer to match/exceed an offer)"
Isn't the conventional wisdom that, even if you are able to convince your current employer to match, that you shouldn't take their offer? Most employers have already decided you're "not loyal", and as such will be looking to get rid of you.
- itsdrewmiller 10y agoThat is the conventional wisdom but I don't think it is universally correct. It's probably better to say that they generally didn't solve their compensation concerns in a way that kept them at the company though - either they didn't bring it up at all, or they did and didn't succeed. Whether they do that by generating another job offer or not is secondary.

Most employers have already decided you're "not loyal", and as such will be looking to get rid of you. You can frame it 2 different ways: * I have an offer that if you don't beat, I'll leave * I've been considering my market value, like working here, and would like you to recognize what I add to the business. The 2nd way allows an employer to pay you more - and the employee to stay there because they didn't see themselves in the other rule.
