Good to hear. Most recruiters stick to the "counteroffers are bad" script pretty closely in all the articles they post. It's just dishonest and makes us all look bad.
- peteretep 10y agoI also spent a long time as a developer and successfully took counter offers a few times. Sometimes it really is just about the money, and your line manager needed the impetus to justify the cost to their manager
- simonswords82 10y agoSadly based on my experience with recruiters the majority of them make you all look bad.
- fecak 10y agoThis is sadly accurate. I've had unemployed entry-level candidates say 'no thanks', and I have the benefit of a decent reputation based on my writings. It's getting difficult to do the job.
- peteretep 10y agoI think it helps to hug a specific community or two, and build a solid reputation.
