There is no exact answer, but offering a little more than the average to match a project deadline is generally a good practice if you want them to remember you in a good way. | |

| May 1, 2012 at 16:38 | comment | added | Donald | @Owe - Sure I suppose. It still sends you a message that you were so unhappy that you went as far as to go looking for a new job and nearly accepted it. Accepting a job from the same company, after you recieved a new offer, is not wise. I would argue that informing them you are unhappy, and asking them what you can do to get a greater compensation, might be a better course of action. | |

If not, that risk manager would need an introduction to the clue stick werbeblogger.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ikea_kloppe.jpg (the caption roughly says "Are you still argueing or have you started convincing?) | |
| Apr 28, 2012 at 21:12 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @thursdaysgeek My bucket story is because we had such a bucket in the ceiling of a data center at $job[-1]. There were several "close calls" when it was forgotten during the rainy springs :) | |
| Apr 28, 2012 at 14:34 | comment | added | thursdaysgeek | Hey, I worked at a place that had a bucket in the ceiling to catch leaks. And, it was forgotten, and fell through the ceiling. | |
| Apr 28, 2012 at 10:54 | comment | added | Owe Jessen | About the warning against counter-offers - wouldn't this very much depend on the employers ability to recruit a suitable replacement in the first place? | |
| Apr 28, 2012 at 2:29 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @mhoran_psprep my last job was famous for it - to the point where when people would resign their co-workers would always warn them not to take a counter-offer. | |
| Apr 28, 2012 at 2:28 | comment | added | mhoran_psprep | +1 for discussing the risk of them matching your offer just so they can have more time to train your replacement. | |

Throw some additional info about the resignation process & transition documentation, that's the hardest bit.
