Employee Offered 60% Salary Hike Shortly Before Exit Considers Counteroffer
A product marketing specialist who resigned after feeling underpaid received a 60% salary hike offer from his employer just 11 days before his last working day, nearly seven weeks after submitting his resignation. He claimed to have significantly increased the company's annual recurring revenue but believes a 100% raise is justified. The counteroffer includes expanded responsibilities, and he is awaiting results from another company's interview before deciding. Online discussions caution against accepting late counteroffers due to potential risks.
