People who gave notice to leave Google, did your manager or director ask you to stay by offering more money? If yes, how much increase was it and did you accept? Does Google often give counter offers to retain employees?
People that accept counter-offers typically move on between 6 and 12 months any way. It was more than the compensation that was bothering them
Managers who give counter offers typically only do so in order to give them time to look for a new candidate. They don't really want to keep someone around who was willing to quit, they just don't want themselves / their team to look bad because of it.
If Google is willing to match external comp, I'll stay for as long as that make sense. I already give Google my best daily, but at the end of the day this is business.
I accepted counter-offer, but leaving anyways after 8 months. Damn it, I just supported above statistics.
Although generally true with counters that you'd leave or they find replacement after a while but there are situations like huge 4 year cliff or being too underpaid that makes your concerns purely financial meaning you like your job but pay is not competitive.
If that username is any indication, you won’t have to a worry about any counter offers..
I was told this is an icon for zero?
It is. zero counter offers to be specific.
