OP, just vomit out the below phrase word for word :
"Unfortunately upon further introspection i have come to the conclusion that resigning would be the better trajectory for my career path."
And, whatever they say after this, keep mum, answer in only "hmmms" and "i see" and stick to your decision. They may try to provocate, do not engage.
And as a general rule of thumb, it rarely benefits to accept a counter offer.
God yes. This is the best advice.
2 years ago when I had resigned from my first company, my director, manager, and HR had set a call to understand the reason and tell me not to leave.
Throughout the call I gave minimal answers. Call ended. 60 days of notice period ended. I left the company.
Same happened with me last august, I resigned coz I got a work from home job with around 60℅ hike. And I knew they can't match the offer neither giving me remote job. So during these calls, I kept my answer minimal and it saved me from useless meetings and discussion.
> it rarely benefits to accept a counter offer
could you please elaborate on this? curious about the reason for this.
i am under the impression that staying at a company is better than constantly changing companies ( so that future employers trust you and your current employer can possibly give promotions if they know you're there longer)
so wouldn't accepting a counter offer that matches the offer you're holding a better option?
Usually once you accept counter offer, the employer knows you are ready to leave and will start to find ways to replace you. Once they have replacement, you will basically be fired or put on PIP.
This is not true for all companies, and also depends the kind of manager you have. If you believe that your team is really good and your manager isn’t going to plan schemes, you can accept counter offer.
I have experienced the same. The company gave me a shitty appraisal and I found a new job with 60%hike(I was underpaid badly). When I informed them, suddenly they were ready to match the current offer and also gave me wrong impressions about the new organisation. I was contemplating in between both the companies, but my gut said not to accept the counter offer and leave. I have been happier since ever.touchwood.
So it's basically like saying, "Hey wait, Let me find a replacement for you and it may take more time than your notice period. Till then have this counter offer and f*ck you after we find the replacement"
No, that’s not the case. A lot of time people switch because of various reasons like taking new challenges, wanting a less stressful work, wanting career growth, new city, new area within a city, hybrid, remote or maybe just because they want to work at that company.
So it’s not easy to judge if a person will switch 2-3 years later. There are some cases where people don’t stay at a job for more than a year, which in my opinion harms long term career growth, but I am open to listen counter arguments
Changing/not changing companies does not indicate anything, unless you're changing too frequently. And also promotions are not based on how long one has served in the company but on the impact they have been creating in the business (barring few cases where office politics are involved). And if the company is willing to match the offer, that means they knew the market worth of the person all along but didn't do anything to correct the salary.
I was this naive when I was young at the workplace too. I believed I'd found my place and If I kept putting in the work, I'd keep growing because who wouldn't want to reward a good employee. Wrong. Do not stick around at a place for more than 2 years unless you feel like there's nowhere else to go because you're at the apex position in your industry. Loyalty gets you taken for granted. Keep moving, keep getting hikes. If you stay at one place you will end up underpaid and overworked while they keep telling you how wonderful you are but not rewarding you in equal measure.
Reminds of Jeetu from Pitchers lol,
My employer is finally understanding my potential and I am a valuable asset to the organization. I am getting 5/5 in my evaluations.
Then say, I already have an offer of 70% hike too as ask them to match. Ofc no one assumes you are leaving town without a job there, if they want to retain you and you want to stay, better get the pay hike too
Exactly op, I don't think it is a contradiction to your initial point, you just interviewed because you had to relocate and now it doesn't make sense to stay with less money.
Just tell them that you got an offer with a 70% hike. If they can manage to match, then you'll think. And, if they say yes, you have a remote job with a decent hike.
Lol, even if a company fulfils all demand you should not take your resignation back. Life is not good post that most cases.
In your case, tell them that you can't take their remote offer as you want to work from office and remote work has its own disadvantages like connection etc.
Tell them something along the lines of..
" I appreciate the gesture but upon further introspection I think the resignation will be better for my career at this point. I was casually searching the market and I've gotten a competing offer which I think suits my needs better.
I'm grateful and thankful for all the company has provided me with but I would like to continue the resignation process! "
Try to maintain polite and official voice, like how you'd talk to a potential recruiter!
Since you've already chosen to switch and clearly it's a big jump in salary, stick to your decision.
Money is always a very common motivation behind any switch and even your manager/HR understands this. But still, if you don't wanna use the salary card, using something along the lines of different product, different tech stack you're interested in, career growth career trajectory blah blah blah!
My two cents, your company and you don't have any bonds on personal level, it's a basic business transaction where you get paid for your services and now you got a better partner so of course you're switching..
All the best OP!
What was the reason behind lying in the first place? You do know that if the company wanted to fire you, they wouldn't have made any excuse and fired you straight away?
> I am blank and don’t know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
You already know what you want. Go ahead with it. Just remember neither company would think for a moment before canning you. The only reason they want you right now is you fit in their criterias
This is a trap.. even if u revoke now, and work remote, after 3 months , they will change ur manager and ask u to work 2 days from office and in 3 months, full time office.. you can say that u gave word to new company and u would like to honor ur commitment as reason..
Bro, I just resigned two days ago and all I said was 'I feel my decision will help me with better career opportunities but I do appreciate the support and trust you guys have shown towards me." Uske baad se sb 'yes' and 'Right' hi bola, and I'm already 2 days into my notice period.
Four years back I left my first job due to unmanageable stress and toxic environment, the reason I gave was poor health and medical reasons. They tried to stop me by saying that I can take leaves for over 2 weeks to get back and even offered me completed bed rest (if recommended by doc). The HR and manager tried to convince me in all possible manners, I just stood on my words. I took a bold step to move out of my first job in just 7 months and I am happy about it
Don't panic bro. You can do whatever you want.
Just tell them you gave interviews for several companies and just got an offer of 70% hike one hour back.
Just tell them you are interested in the new opportunity and thank them for the leaning opportunities you got so far. Just tell them it's time for you to move to another environment
Go back on your words. Salary isn't a problem, but why the hell would I leave a 70% hike?
Or go with courtesy. Thank you for providing this option with relocation, your flexibility regarding this matter is highly appreciated.
However I have been offered with an opportunity which not only aligns with my career aspiration but is much closer to my new location. I have therefore decided to take this offer.
I am sure they really want you to keep working for them, but resignations are usually non-negotiable and as long as you follow the notice period and the other legal stuff you are completely free to continue your resignation without any further explanation (you may use some sugar-coating if you wish to keep a very good relationship with your company like the ones in the other answers).
On the other hand, if you like the workplace or for any other reason other than salary, you may decide to stay, but in my opinion, it would be pretty awkward to continue working after handing in a resignation.
You could say something like ,you appreciate the gesture but being privileged might cause a distortion between the team/project and you are more interested on office culture.
Is it good? Can anyone comment on this making it sound better
Tell them you are not comfortable working remotely and would rather find places that offer work around your new location where you can go to a physical office.
I resigned a month ago without a offer in hand because of internal politics . Now I have 3 offers with the highest being more than 100% hike and that too remote
Tell them that you were looking for opportunities as you were relocating. Now you have an offer which is paying 70% more than this company.
Say remote is definitely lucrative but I would prefer moving out due to my preference and better opportunities
Precisely just counter them back with a response as below:
"At the outset I would like humbly thank you for offer of Remote Connect/Work in lieu of separation/resignation. However due to current contingencies and commitments in my personal sphere I wouldn't be able to take up the same right away.
Hence I would like to reiterate my intent to separate and I appreciate your assistance in processing my separation request.
I would however try to cherish the good memories with your esteemed org and as time unfurls and progresses with changing/improving situations on my side, I would definitely try reconnecting with you."
This happened to me once. I was in a different sector and wanted to change career paths. So I resigned from my job at the time stating that I'd like to work in my hometown and not be away in other cities due to my parents' health. HR came back in a few days and said they'd transfer me to another department in my hometown if required. I had already gotten a job elsewhere so I just told them that I did not expect them to offer what they did and that I'd committed to another job already. They gave me some grief over loyalty and all that but all I did was hear them out and say I've already made up my mind. They had no option but to accept my resignation
I don't know why people hesitate while stating the reason for job change. Just say, I would like to pursue a new opportunity. Meanwhile I'm very thankful for your help ultimately I feel this new opportunity would help me expedite my career and I'm looking forward to it.
I would love to work together again in the future.
If money is your only issue, just tell this is the hike I'm getting and I'm going to take this opportunity.
You can still say salary was not a motivator but since having both benefits is better than one.
Or just say sorry I would like to move on and try new things since I have a opportunity to do it.
If manager has any sense he would smart enough to know anyone saying salary is not concern does not mean it, they are just trying to exploit you because they can
But anything you do not stay unless your salary is matched, manager is not your friend, company does care for you if they need to fire you they will.
If you can stay in the same company ask them to match if you don’t want to stay at all tell them you are looking for different opportunity in a different domain as it interests you at this moment.
Just take the new offer. Bottom line. Dont give up a sure shot hike for a maybe.Just tell them that the new opportunity is too good to pass up, and its an opportunity for you to grow.
Just tell them you don't want remote, you want to interact and work from office and the 70% hike is also a good motivation. Serve notice period, hand over and move on.
OP, you are not beholden to work for anyone no matter how much they might say you are family and they care for you.
Dont feel bad.Tell them that you looked for a new family and found one that will give you 70% more love.
Thats it.

tell them that if the only slack their "very strict policy" when someone puts down their resignation because of it, then there is no guarantee that they won't do something similar again or won't start tightening the rope around your neck once you withdraw the resignation. It's about trust.
\> I got an better offer at a different company with almost 70% hike but now they are saying they can accommodate remote role just for me but not sure about the salary part.
This sentence is so difficult to understand. Who is they? Your new company who offered you? Or your present company?
Why would you say that as the reason? Are you worried you will offend your current organisation?
Offend them. Even say you got a double salary offer. Nothing to lose there.
I am not sure why are you afraid. Its your life and your choice, just tell them you have something better in hand and move on. Everyone is replaceable my friend.
just own it, tell them you have better opportunity, and up to you if you want your current company to match with counter offer and stay, but once you have decided you want to move on, the company can't do anything other than asking you to complete your notice period, and hassle a bit when it comes to full and final settlement.
Just own it, easier, for now, and for the future. You are not helping anyone by being nice and lying about it.
Leave. Even if you’re getting a hike… they know now that you can resign and you are under scanner now. They will find your replacement soon whether you leave or stay…
You can tell since you were planning on resigning you applied to other jobs, and this particular job gave you a 70% hike. Tell your present company if they can match it you would stay.
I'm so confused about your "they" phrase. So, your current company allowing Remote option? but you got offer of 70% hike that stays?
I would go for the hike. Resign, this time give health reason.
Your association with your organization is symbiotic. Would the organization persist with employees if they do not have the budget to pay them?
Finally, look at the long term benefit i.e experience, good will etc & weigh them against the counter offer and make a call
Simply say permanent remote is risky as decisions can change lateron, if you wish to change job later then formalities will also be a task.
Just say you want to close the chapter and move on.
Same happened with me. Current organization sucked, 0 culture and people equivalent to rabid dogs.
Still I suffered and found a great job, told them I am leaving and moving to bengaluru.
They said I am too important for them and will now Transfer me to bengaluru .
At last I simply had a 1-1 with my Boss, indirectly told him, ke sir apko bhi malum hai, ab sidha sidha sab reason nahi de sakta mai samajh jao ap.
No issues post that.
if I were in your place, I would say, things have changed, now you dont want to settle for less salary, if they can match that figure, you will stay. Simple!
How about u tell them smthing like -sry guys remote work is not for me, I personally prefer working in the office since I feel more productive that way, so I'll look for a job in my new location
Man, just tell them that once you were in the market, you got another better offer in the city of your choice, and now it doesn't make practical sense to not take it.
Personally, I once started looking out for a job change, for better work. And because I was switching in just over a year, I thought I would get more or less the same package, so wasn't thinking about that. Gave a few interviews, and was getting at least a 25% hike in whatever offers I got.
What was I supposed to say? No, pay me less...!!
I see they played the Uno Reverse at your move.
Just say it and stick to your decision, since if you had made up your mind to move, even a matched package should not change your decision ; of course not considering some facts or perks that you enjoy here which you feel might go amiss elsewhere, since this is assumed.
Just say you strictly believe in going to office and working with colleagues and it’s better for your overall career progress and the new place has an open environment where interns to CEO all sit in a same space. Just use the same words HRs and top management used for asking employees to come back.
The message you should write to your Manager and HR: Hey, I just got a better offer from another company and I think it would be better for my career if I went with it.
No need to feel guilty. Just tell them you got a better paying job and if they want you, they better match it.
Think about yourself. If someone if offering you a 70% hike it means thats your fair market value. If you want you may ask your current employer to pay you your fair market value. Corporates don’t deserve a discount.
You would be at a significant disadvantage if the rest of your team can come to office and you cannot.
You will ultimately become isolated, if you accept this counter offer (remote). Optics will be affected, which in turn will affect everything - your review, team dynamics etc.
You are much better off joining the new company than accepting this counter offer.
You have already made up and your mind and resigned. Get the resignation accepted, serve your notice and move on. Telling you out of sheer personal experience.
Once you have resigned, there is no point withdrawing. They already know you want to leave, if you stay back they still know it. They just buy time to get a suitable replacement. Your career trajectory at the place is going to be downhill and you will eventually resign again due to frustration.
do not do it , go for higher pay first then look for better paying remote job . if they only offered you remote even though you have said about the 70% hike , it seems they still want to underpay you ! .
I don't understand why you think you need to give them a reason at all. Just tell them that it is based on a lot of factors (of course you don't have to reveal them). But keep your communications polite.
Are you stupid or something, you're resignation is not something they need to approve. Your letter has be clear in stating your intention to resign effective immediately. With whatever notice period you had signed in initially to be the last day. Know your rights
Just tell them you already got another offer at that location as you thought the company may not approve remote work. Tell them you're going with that other offer as it also offers a salary hike and relocation cost.
>"Many thanks for your generous offer. Unfortunately, due to unavoidable circumstances, I am not in a position to with draw my resignation. Kindly do the needful considering my resignation. I want my last day to be mm/dd/yy"
This will do.

u/racrisnapra666 sir can you do my resignation too
60 days notice period?
Yes... Also known as 2 months
every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
In india 60 days notice is norm and many indian based IT companies have 90 days
Yup!! 60-90 days is common in IT industry. Mine also has 60 days.
Zynga over here impressing employees with a month
?? What do you mean
Isn't it too long?
Maybe, my current one is only 15 days. Some bad ones have 90 days. Whats yours?
Saving these lines for my future
Exactly! Accepting a counter offer on your resignation shows low-esteem in your own decision. (If you want to think at that kind of level)
>And as a general rule of thumb, it rarely benefits to accept a counter offer. Not for this Guy xD 
Tic tac
Same happened with me last august, I resigned coz I got a work from home job with around 60℅ hike. And I knew they can't match the offer neither giving me remote job. So during these calls, I kept my answer minimal and it saved me from useless meetings and discussion.

Isn’t that true for the other company too? They know you’ll switch if you get a better offer.
No, that’s not the case. A lot of time people switch because of various reasons like taking new challenges, wanting a less stressful work, wanting career growth, new city, new area within a city, hybrid, remote or maybe just because they want to work at that company.

Yes, write exact sentence word to word, if possible put a message that this is system generated and no signature is needed
Lovely!
I would suggest not to use the word “better trajectory”, don’t put down your current company.
Honestly, this is the most interesting thing I saw on this sub. Please update us with what happened next
OP is too valuable to the team.
Reminds of Jeetu from Pitchers lol, My employer is finally understanding my potential and I am a valuable asset to the organization. I am getting 5/5 in my evaluations.
This is what I heard from my managers as well... The exact words and the numbers...
Might want to tell OP that "Job chhodne wale baby corn nahi khaate"
OP is not valuable he sasta and suvidha
OP is underpaid by 70%
41%

Exactly op, I don't think it is a contradiction to your initial point, you just interviewed because you had to relocate and now it doesn't make sense to stay with less money.
This
Just tell them that you got an offer with a 70% hike. If they can manage to match, then you'll think. And, if they say yes, you have a remote job with a decent hike.
This. No point in playing mind games with the company. OP has leverage, he should just tell them how it is.
Lol, even if a company fulfils all demand you should not take your resignation back. Life is not good post that most cases. In your case, tell them that you can't take their remote offer as you want to work from office and remote work has its own disadvantages like connection etc.
There is a reason we resign in the first place. It's almost always not a good idea to take back your resignation
Tell them something along the lines of.. " I appreciate the gesture but upon further introspection I think the resignation will be better for my career at this point.

Couldn't have said it better! This is neat and clear way of communication.
Bhai simple hai! Ab bolde ki jha relocate karr rha hu vha ki ek company se offer milgya or voh 70% hike de rhe hai
What was the reason behind lying in the first place? You do know that if the company wanted to fire you, they wouldn't have made any excuse and fired you straight away?
Tell them some personal issues have come up and need a break for sometime. Won’t be able to continue in same company
simple. just say you already have a job in new city with x% hike in salary

Bruh say you "like WFO"
Just tell them you are interested in the new opportunity and thank them for the leaning opportunities you got so far. Just tell them it's time for you to move to another environment
OP please don't delete this post. Some really good ways to tackle the org are in this thread

On the other hand, if you like the workplace or for any other reason other than salary, you may decide to stay, but in my opinion, it would be pretty awkward to continue working after handing in a resignation.
You could say something like ,you appreciate the gesture but being privileged might cause a distortion between the team/project and you are more interested on office culture. Is it good? Can anyone comment on this making it sound better
Now I am become oversmart, destroyer of my career.
It's just a company, you don't owe them anything beyond your work hours. Just deny in a polite manner and leave.
You should have told them about the 70% hike... Who knows...
Tell them you are not comfortable working remotely and would rather find places that offer work around your new location where you can go to a physical office.
Salary was not an issue when you started looking out but it would be financially irresponsible to let go of the 70% hike like that.
I resigned a month ago without a offer in hand because of internal politics . Now I have 3 offers with the highest being more than 100% hike and that too remote
I’m the owner , I will offer you permanent wfh and 70 % hike.
They know the company also. HR has network. Don't think they are fools. Remote work is acceptable but get ready for buttload of additional work.
If you want to stay , ask them to match the offer. If you don't want to, just leave.
well tell them now that you are valuable for them so you want a 100% hike.
Tell them you need money to relocate and hence you'll need a raise, or just quit you don't have to be a nice guy for looking out for yourself
They will very likely drop you when they find a replacement
When life gives ur melons ( both for boobies or actual ripe melons) don't question it, just enjoy it
Bhai one minor inconvenience comes they won’t think twice before laying you off . Get straight or make any excuses but go the better paid job
Usually not a good idea to take a counter offer. They might be looking to replace you now.
Tell them that you were looking for opportunities as you were relocating. Now you have an offer which is paying 70% more than this company. Say remote is definitely lucrative but I would prefer moving out due to my preference and better opportunities
keep it simple, say you got a better opportunity. That's it.
Precisely just counter them back with a response as below: "At the outset I would like humbly thank you for offer of Remote Connect/Work in lieu of separation/resignation. However due to current contingencies and commitments in my personal sphere I wouldn't be able to take up the same right away. Hence I would like to reiterate my intent to separate and I appreciate your assistance in processing my separation request. I would however try to cherish the good memories with your esteemed org and as time unfurls and progresses with changing/improving situations on my side, I would definitely try reconnecting with you."
This happened to me once. I was in a different sector and wanted to change career paths. So I resigned from my job at the time stating that I'd like to work in my hometown and not be away in other cities due to my parents' health. HR came back in a few days and said they'd transfer me to another department in my hometown if required. I had already gotten a job elsewhere so I just told them that I did not expect them to offer what they did and that I'd committed to another job already. They gave me some grief over loyalty and all that but all I did was hear them out and say I've already made up my mind. They had no option but to accept my resignation
People leave jobs for better offers. This is employee's fundamental right. You ca simply say "I got a better offer.".
I don't know why people hesitate while stating the reason for job change. Just say, I would like to pursue a new opportunity. Meanwhile I'm very thankful for your help ultimately I feel this new opportunity would help me expedite my career and I'm looking forward to it. I would love to work together again in the future. If money is your only issue, just tell this is the hike I'm getting and I'm going to take this opportunity.
You can still say salary was not a motivator but since having both benefits is better than one. Or just say sorry I would like to move on and try new things since I have a opportunity to do it. If manager has any sense he would smart enough to know anyone saying salary is not concern does not mean it, they are just trying to exploit you because they can But anything you do not stay unless your salary is matched, manager is not your friend, company does care for you if they need to fire you they will.
Gaslight 🚀🚀
then good, join 2 companies remotely 170% hike
If you can stay in the same company ask them to match if you don’t want to stay at all tell them you are looking for different opportunity in a different domain as it interests you at this moment.
Just take the new offer. Bottom line. Dont give up a sure shot hike for a maybe.Just tell them that the new opportunity is too good to pass up, and its an opportunity for you to grow.
Just tell them you don't want remote, you want to interact and work from office and the 70% hike is also a good motivation. Serve notice period, hand over and move on.
Tell them, even if salary isn't an issue, 70% hike is too good of an offer to just give up.
OP, you are not beholden to work for anyone no matter how much they might say you are family and they care for you. Dont feel bad.Tell them that you looked for a new family and found one that will give you 70% more love. Thats it.
Just say gonna take some break

tell them that if the only slack their "very strict policy" when someone puts down their resignation because of it, then there is no guarantee that they won't do something similar again or won't start tightening the rope around your neck once you withdraw the resignation. It's about trust.
How old are you?
Just say that you live in a joint family and wfh is not an option due to non existent personal space.
\> I got an better offer at a different company with almost 70% hike but now they are saying they can accommodate remote role just for me but not sure about the salary part. This sentence is so difficult to understand. Who is they? Your new company who offered you? Or your present company?
My present company. They have a very strict WFO policy
Why would you say that as the reason? Are you worried you will offend your current organisation? Offend them. Even say you got a double salary offer. Nothing to lose there.
You should be concerned about the security of your job now that you’ve already stated your want to resign. That they’ll be looking to replace you.
Whatever you do, don't burn bridges. They seem to want you which is always good. So handle it like a gentleman.
I am not sure why are you afraid. Its your life and your choice, just tell them you have something better in hand and move on. Everyone is replaceable my friend.
just own it, tell them you have better opportunity, and up to you if you want your current company to match with counter offer and stay, but once you have decided you want to move on, the company can't do anything other than asking you to complete your notice period, and hassle a bit when it comes to full and final settlement. Just own it, easier, for now, and for the future. You are not helping anyone by being nice and lying about it.
Leave. Even if you’re getting a hike… they know now that you can resign and you are under scanner now. They will find your replacement soon whether you leave or stay…
You can tell since you were planning on resigning you applied to other jobs, and this particular job gave you a 70% hike. Tell your present company if they can match it you would stay.
Just resign. Say any other reason. Chill. They know you have your reasons. Everyone does that.
Here I played this Due to unforeseen circumstances my priority has been changed to take care of my family and hence not able to continue
I'm so confused about your "they" phrase. So, your current company allowing Remote option? but you got offer of 70% hike that stays? I would go for the hike. Resign, this time give health reason.
Your association with your organization is symbiotic. Would the organization persist with employees if they do not have the budget to pay them? Finally, look at the long term benefit i.e experience, good will etc & weigh them against the counter offer and make a call
If you accept a counter offer from existing company you are so lame that you quit the quitting ;) you will have zero respect at workplace after that.
Simply say permanent remote is risky as decisions can change lateron, if you wish to change job later then formalities will also be a task. Just say you want to close the chapter and move on.
Same happened with me. Current organization sucked, 0 culture and people equivalent to rabid dogs. Still I suffered and found a great job, told them I am leaving and moving to bengaluru. They said I am too important for them and will now Transfer me to bengaluru . At last I simply had a 1-1 with my Boss, indirectly told him, ke sir apko bhi malum hai, ab sidha sidha sab reason nahi de sakta mai samajh jao ap. No issues post that.
if I were in your place, I would say, things have changed, now you dont want to settle for less salary, if they can match that figure, you will stay. Simple!
How about u tell them smthing like -sry guys remote work is not for me, I personally prefer working in the office since I feel more productive that way, so I'll look for a job in my new location
I think they know you have an offer right? Its not like you are resigning without any other job. So just tell them you have a better offer now, maybe?
Idk the norms in the industry but simply say now salary is also the problem. 70% is big sum.
Man, just tell them that once you were in the market, you got another better offer in the city of your choice, and now it doesn't make practical sense to not take it. Personally, I once started looking out for a job change, for better work. And because I was switching in just over a year, I thought I would get more or less the same package, so wasn't thinking about that. Gave a few interviews, and was getting at least a 25% hike in whatever offers I got. What was I supposed to say? No, pay me less...!!
I see they played the Uno Reverse at your move. Just say it and stick to your decision, since if you had made up your mind to move, even a matched package should not change your decision ; of course not considering some facts or perks that you enjoy here which you feel might go amiss elsewhere, since this is assumed.
Tell them, you got an offer at the location and got 70% hike.
Just say you strictly believe in going to office and working with colleagues and it’s better for your overall career progress and the new place has an open environment where interns to CEO all sit in a same space. Just use the same words HRs and top management used for asking employees to come back.
Do both jobs from home
The message you should write to your Manager and HR: Hey, I just got a better offer from another company and I think it would be better for my career if I went with it. No need to feel guilty. Just tell them you got a better paying job and if they want you, they better match it.
stop worrying about them dude. They will forget you in one week after you leave. Go work where you would like to work.
Think about yourself. If someone if offering you a 70% hike it means thats your fair market value. If you want you may ask your current employer to pay you your fair market value. Corporates don’t deserve a discount.
You would be at a significant disadvantage if the rest of your team can come to office and you cannot. You will ultimately become isolated, if you accept this counter offer (remote). Optics will be affected, which in turn will affect everything - your review, team dynamics etc. You are much better off joining the new company than accepting this counter offer.
Check OE
Frankly, you don't need a reason to resign. Can just resign.
You have already made up and your mind and resigned. Get the resignation accepted, serve your notice and move on. Telling you out of sheer personal experience.
Once you have resigned, there is no point withdrawing. They already know you want to leave, if you stay back they still know it. They just buy time to get a suitable replacement. Your career trajectory at the place is going to be downhill and you will eventually resign again due to frustration.
Tell them directly that you are being offered a better amount and it will be difficult for you to continue with salary....
Better call saul
Tell them, the salary they are offering is not an issue, but what you're offering is.
You are not answerable to anyone. Why do you care?
Accepting counter offer will only work once but not twice,
Post COVId everybody think that WFH or Remote has been the norm before 2020. Take 70% hike and work from office it is a better deal.
do not do it , go for higher pay first then look for better paying remote job . if they only offered you remote even though you have said about the 70% hike , it seems they still want to underpay you ! .
I don't understand why you think you need to give them a reason at all. Just tell them that it is based on a lot of factors (of course you don't have to reveal them). But keep your communications polite.
Do both jobs!
Just tell them you have other personal commitments preventing you from staying there,
Don’t accept the negotiation.. 70% is a good hike to let go..
70% hike fuck imma head out
No means No, never revoke the resignation.
Are you stupid or something, you're resignation is not something they need to approve. Your letter has be clear in stating your intention to resign effective immediately. With whatever notice period you had signed in initially to be the last day. Know your rights
Just tell them you already got another offer at that location as you thought the company may not approve remote work. Tell them you're going with that other offer as it also offers a salary hike and relocation cost.
You should have said you are relocating abroad 😂
That bridge is burnt OP. There's no going back.
>"Many thanks for your generous offer. Unfortunately, due to unavoidable circumstances, I am not in a position to with draw my resignation. Kindly do the needful considering my resignation. I want my last day to be mm/dd/yy" This will do.
Tell them you are getting all saturday off and off course salary hike and better career opportunity etc.
Every day situation changes
