Frequently asked questions- offer from another company:
Question 5: After getting an offer from another company, my current employer offered me 5% more than the offer I got from the other company. I don't know what to do. Do I negotiate with the other company or do I accept my current employer's higher offer?
Answer: First you should evaluate & compare other factors such as career paths, the companies, the actual jobs, job security...etc. Questions that come to mind: If you are worth that much more, why didn't your current employer pay you accordingly before you got the other offer? So you had to force them to pay you more! How will they treat you after this & in the future? You can tell the other company that you have a higher offer from your company BUT it could backfire, as they may think, if they give you more, you may go back to your current employer & ask for more... etc. So be very careful if you decide to negotiate further with the other company. Probably the safest option would be to tell the other company that you decided to accept their offer (assuming you want to do this), but see if they can improve the offer as your current company has offered you more, but make it clear that you have no intention of staying with your current employer (again assuming you don't intend to stay with your current employer) & make it clear that you won't continue to go back & forth between the two companies.
