Should I get retained after resignation

Guys ,I need advice I have been working with Northern Trust for 4.3 years ,and now got an offer from Barclays.

I started as a support role within Northern Trust but slowly started contributing to the data engineer role from 2 years . Since my current employer was not changing my title as developer and not increasing my CTC,I decided to look outside and got three offers including Barclays as a data engineer role .

My current company now wants to retain me by giving the role and matching the offer by 60-70 percent.

Should I get retained,or go ? I am a little scared about the pressure I need to face when I join a new company as an experienced data engineer ?

Will I survive or should I consider the option to retain ??

Being scared isn’t a reason to stay. It's often the reason to go.

Retention offers fixes symptoms (title, salary), but not always the root issues (growth culture, recognition, career path).

Take the offer. Take the risk. This is exactly how growth happens, by stepping into something that feels slightly uncomfortable. You’ll gain skills, confidence, and perspective that staying might not offer. Even if the beginning feels overwhelming, you’ll look back and be grateful you chose progress over comfort.

My advice would be grab new offer. From day 1 they will not ask u to work eventually u can learn on u own , and from seniors once u understand their architecture and all
