In this video, I describe a scenario that someone faces where they need to turn down a counteroffer… And it is very painful.

Do you really think employers are trying to help you?

You already know you can’t trust recruiters—they tell you as much as they think you need to know to take the job they after representing so they collect their payday.

The skills needed to find a job are different yet complement the skills needed to do a job.

    counter offers should never be immediately dismissed. If a new job requires
    relocation then you are doubly jumping into the abyss. Keep in mind that
    your original salary and benies are determined by HR, who may be completely
    off market value. You the job holder agreed to the deal, but you can use
    the new job offer as an impromptu salary review. You’d be shocked as to how
    many companies are off the mark with compensation packages. HR may squeel,
    but keep in mind, the message you have to convey is : YOU CAN’T REPLACE ME
    AFTER I LEAVE FOR THE PAY YOU ARE PAYING ME NOW
