Trying to retain during notice period. Please advise
I am on my 3 months notice period, but since the time I put my papers I have been contacted by a senior stakeholder, my previous and current vp suggesting me to stay saying they'll try their best
Is it something normal, should I reconsider? The other firm has been waiting since past 2 months
Got a hike of 45%, please suggest as confused

"Try their best" isn't good enough. Ask them to match the hike + any additional perks you might think you should have been given. Get this in written mail/ official communication and not a verbal agreement.
Don't stay back, if they can match after you put in the papers they could have done earlier too
Depends on the sector too
In banking, they retain you and vengefully fuck you over later! In Tech, it might be better.
Yep in banking. Please tell more about this
Banking folks are vengeful, esp banks like HSBC. I heard that people don't share their prospective employer because previous colleagues/bosses bad mouth you and jeopardize your move. The BFSI circle is very small and close-knit too, whereas consulting is much friendlier and encourage leaving for better opportunities.
Are they retaining you because they like you and your work personally or because they are controlling attrition and they have a huge dependency on you?
If it's the latter, they will hire folks, ask someone to shadow you over next 4-8months and reduce your bargaining power during next appraisal.
Stay back if you trust and like your boss a lot and vice versa and if they offer good terms to show that like matching your hike or appraisals.
Also, they are cruel and planned when it comes to restructuring & layoffs. I try not to be the most expensive employee to them in case they are looking for headcount reduction.
Dontt stay. If they waited for 2 months to retain you they are simply trying to spoil your choice. They wil give ahike now but then your manager will behave like a pscyho and spoil your WLB.
Don't consider staying back ever.... The moment you take your resignation back, you value is gone
It's a thumb rule to never take the counter offer. I'd suggest you to join another company
Man, all this shit happens only after you put in your papers and then they realise your value. Fuck em as new company will bring freshness in career.
Don't stay back. Will just be a lot of ill will. Besides, ethically wrong if you've confirmed to the new company and they've waited for you for 2 months.
