When Your Manager Offers to Match After You Resign , What Would You Do?
I’ve put down my papers in my current company after receiving an offer from another organization. Honestly, I wasn’t looking for a change as the work-life balance here has been really good.
After resigning, I had a discussion with my manager and mentioned that the only reason I’m moving is due to the monetary benefits. He said they’re willing to match the offer if I stay, which I really appreciate.
However, the challenge is that my last working day is mid of November , while our annual compensation revision is scheduled for December. I received an email from my manager mentioning that they’ll try to match the offer in the annual revision, and even tagged our director ,but there were no concrete numbers mentioned.
Now I’m unsure whether to trust that and withdraw my resignation, or to follow up and ask for clarity on the numbers before making a decision.
What would you do in this situation? Any advise ?

He even did not confirm the offer. He will merely try to match the offer. Whether or not the offer is matched is not known.
They will not do it.
I've seen a close colleague in the same place as you. If I were you, I'd leave.
The thing is when you decide to accept this new package, a few things might happen -
-
The rapport with your manager and upper leadership might not be the same. They might see it as they did a favour by upgrading your package even though you chose to leave
-
Mutual trust might be gone because if you decided to leave due to monetary issues, they might think you could do it again
-
If they say they'll do it at the appraisal process, it could be a false promise and the upgrade might not be as much as you hoped and you've now lost the offer that you had
-
Staying only makes sense if the WLB in the new company won't be as good as your current company
I would not stay back. It took them my resignation to realise and offer to pay my worth - I’d see that as a red flag and move on
Facts 💯
This is easy to say but most of the time you get a better hike when you switch than stay in the same company. So what you said applies for every company.
Thumb rule, never step back once you put down your papers.
In corporate all are snakes 🐍
Don't take words unless it's written
It's a risk you'll have to evaluate considering your boss, super boss, vertical politics and payouts.
If they don't match by dec/jan, go back to the interview grind.
If you're weary of the interviews, and the new company is a better brand, opportunity for you to upgrade, then leave on amicable terms.
Completely irrelevant, u have groww refferal?
Leave ! Once you have put down the papers , never stay back.
No doubt WLB at HP is one of the best!! But switching company will be good in the long run
You will be the top of layoff list buddy, you will dig your own grave in there.
They might match the offer, but would start with the process of replacing you pretty soon. You'll be putting yourself at risk.
