Are you wondering whether it is a good idea to accept a counteroffer after you had handed in your resignation?

Making a sound decision in such a situation can be quite challenging. You have to weigh your options to see what will benefit you more.

The first thing you should do is to go back to the reasons you resigned in the first place. Was getting better pay the only reason for you wanting to leave?

Did you feel ignored? Was it the relationship you had with your boss that made you want to quit that job? Do not let money blind you from making the right choice.

Just because you are getting offered a higher salary, does not automatically mean that the conditions are going to change.

Why does your previous employer want you to go back?
