If you don’t think that your company would counter because they think you will have “already checked out” or “can’t be saved” there is one option you can try. Go out and get some job offers for higher salaries and then decline them all. Come back to your manager after some time has passed and mention that you had recently validated your value in the market and know what you are worth and that though this time you weren’t interested you can’t know what the future will hold. They may see that you can still be retained and make an effort to keep you.
- twblalock 9y agoThe better approach is to get other job offers but don't decline them. If your company wants to keep you, they will find a way. Otherwise, take another offer.
- avh02 9y agoI can't do full on job seeking if I know I'll not take the job. The amount of people's time you waste is significant. If there's even a slimmer of chance I could accept it, yeah, I could go for it.
- twblalock 9y agoThere is also the risk that your manager might not believe that you did not intend to leave. The whole plan sounds fishy. I don't know if I would believe someone who told me they were only interviewing to find out their market-rate salary. So, the whole thing could end up being tantamount to giving notice anyway.
- scaryclam 9y agoI think you need to be careful doing that. If the companies you interview at ever figure out you wasted their time and money, you may get blacklisted. Worse, the HR workers or hiring managers may let others know about it as well.
