221: The Counter Offer Trap: Should You Stay or Go?

Over deze aflevering

<p>Ever handed in your notice…only to suddenly become <em>very</em> valuable?</p><p>After years of being overlooked for a raise, support, or promotion, one listener finally quit, only to be hit with a last-minute counter offer: more money, any title she wanted, and a whole lot of “what ifs.” So… do you stay? Or is it already too late?</p><p>In this episode, Sarah and Emma unpack why counter offers happen, the psychology behind suddenly being “seen,” and how to decide whether it’s worth reconsidering, or a sign to walk away for good.</p><p>We also dive into how to handle your notice period when you’re feeling hurt, angry, and completely checked out…without burning bridges or undoing your hard-earned reputation.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Liz who bought us 5 coffees!</p><p>"Thank you so much Emma &amp; Sarah. The job hunting landscape in Oz has shifted quite dramatically. I am an experienced ICT professional in Financial Services with over 20 yrs under my belt. I had always found it a breeze to get hired. It took me 6 months to find a gig (thankfully while working)! It has become super competitive, tougher screening &amp; interview process and one had to have very specific skill sets, almost had to tick every single box they listed. It was a very exhausting experience. I have finally landed a job that is good enough for the next year. Your podcasts have been very encouraging, funny and informative. I had not considered what it would be like from the recruiter/ employer perspective. For example, in keeping the candidate 'warm' haha. Also helps not to take it too seriously right? For those who are still looking, I encourage you to keep going. It only takes one great interview outcome to unlock the next opportunity. Best wishes, Liz!”</p><p>🎥 Check out BRAND NEW free training - Top Interview Tips <u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips</a></u></p><p>🏫 To get step by step help with your interview prep on demand check out our Interview Academy<a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy</a></u></p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
