What do you mean "accepting counter offers is a bad move"? What would be the point of negotiating then?
Is this referring to a counter offer after threatening to quit, a counter offer during the hiring process, or both?
- hfsktr 13y agoI would assume after threatening to leave. Here's a thread from a while ago discussing counter offers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4970843 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4970843 From what I gather when you dislike it enough to quit you start to resent little things. No more free coffee, no vacation, too many hours, office politics/culture. Not the money. Not always the case but when you get to the tipping point it's because things went too far already.
- betenoire 13y agoThat makes sense to me, once I've decided to move on, I'm done: it's not about the money at that point. But since the article was about job offers, and so were most of the comments, I thought I may have missed something.
