Would you say YES to a counter offer? My boss is offering to match my salary to the new job offer > 35% increment but my position remains the same, no add-on to the existing company benefits. But the new job offer will give me MANAGER title & slightly better benefits. What I like about my current company is Boss will allow WFH/take MC if needed, no question ask but career growth is very slow. I like the leniency + not ready to take more responsibilities but long-term wise, I'm not sure. WDYT?

It’s great that your boss values your contribution to the company & is willing to offer a significant raise w/o extra responsibilities. However, if your long-term goal is career growth, the chance to step into a managerial role could be a rare opportunity worth considering. It’s a good sign that the new company recognizes your potential and is ready to entrust you with leadership. For a seasoned professional, moving into management could be a strategic step with lasting benefits for your career.

Also, don't capitilize the work "boss" in this context. TBH if your boss is using those type of acronyms, I can almost guarantee it's not going to work. You wind up with a mgr title doing all the work, boss steals whatever is left of your non-existent salary, and tries to convince everyone that you are the sociopath... I digress... Just make sure it's on paper written in plain english and ask an expert to review it before you sign it... sign it with a pen for goodness sake.

You have to be careful with those percentage raise offers... I learned that a 300% raise of $0.00 brings my salary up to $0.00. I'm also still waiting on about 40 benefits packages that should arrive in the mail any day now.

WFH and leniency without being questioned? That’s a gem in today’s world. I feel if you appreciate the flexibility the give, then just stay a bit more. Opportunities come and go anyways..

New job = new title, more benefits, better long-term path. Current job = flexibility and comfort. Mental health wise, I would 💯stay.
