  1. 1

    I recently resigned from a toxic role where I felt my career progression had stalled. I wasn't actively looking for a new job, but after an external hire was brought in above me to oversee my work, I decided it was time to move on. I accepted a new position that offered a 40% pay increase and a better title. After I submitted my resignation, my manager reached out within 30 minutes, asking if I would reconsider. Less than a day later, a VP-level HR leader, who had previously been hard to reach, scheduled a one-on-one meeting with me. While no counteroffer has been made yet, I sense that one might be coming. I'm torn about whether to consider a counteroffer from a company that only acted once I decided to leave. I’ve heard mixed opinions on this, with some advising against it entirely. Given the circumstances, I'm leaning toward sticking with the new opportunity, but I'm curious if anyone else has faced a similar situation and what their decision was.
