You can use the following steps as guidance when countering a job offer to negotiate your compensation: Ask for time to make your decision. Conduct research on industry compensation. Assess your qualifications and experience. Review and evaluate the initial offer. Determine your counteroffer value. Submit your counteroffer.
The truth is it is very rare that a counter-offer is successful in the long term. It is probable that even after accepting an appealing counter-offer, within 6-12 months your initial reasons for leaving will likely resurface and you will be faced with beginning the job search process all over again.
Just say you appreciate the interest in the counter offer but the decision has been made and you've accepted the offer. No need to disclose company name or offer if you don't want to.
“I am excited about the opportunity to start on Start Date. Could you please send me the formal, written offer that includes the salary, benefits, and expected start date? I'm available at any time if further information is needed.”
Just say that you're excited for the offer and ask if there's anything they can do to bump up the salary. Don't give a specific number unless you absolutely have to. There's always wiggle room in the first offer because they expect you to negotiate. Don't listen to the people saying it's too late now.
First, express your enthusiasm for the position and appreciation for the initial offer. Next, make your case for a higher salary by highlighting your experience and skills. Ideally, you should also provide market research that supports your request.
Accepting a counteroffer can lead to a sense of mistrust, making it challenging to rebuild a positive working relationship. Your loyalty could come into question, potentially affecting future assignments and promotions.
The easy answer is to meet with your boss, say how much you enjoy working at your current company and let your boss know you would like to stay. Then tell him/her you have gotten an offer from another company for a higher salary and wonder if you current employer could match (offer more) in which case you would stay.
A counteroffer functions as both a rejection of an offer to enter into a contract, as well as a new offer that materially changes the terms of the original offer. Because a counteroffer serves as a rejection, it completely voids the original offer. Thus, the original offer can no longer be accepted.
