Should I stay or should I go?

This way, you're being honest, but also naming your expectation.
I like it!

I'm traveling today, but will check in later, if you have more questions for me. :-)

Thank you! So when people ask ‘why are you leaving’ I shouldn’t say ‘money’? Lol. Or maybe some bs ‘for personal growth’ response 😪

Lol!

No, seriously! I was recruiting for 20 years before the internet was invented! :-)

Oh that’s awesome! Any advice for interviewing? I get so nervous.

Keep answers short, sweet, and succinct! Don't ramble, and save your questions for them until they're done asking theirs. Also, never say anything negative about current or past employers. It'll leave them wondering what you'd say about them to future employers.

You got this!

Don't tell any of your coworkers you're interviewing elsewhere! Word gets around an office as quick as mud slides downhill, and if your employer knows you're looking, they could see that as disloyalty... Same results as accepting a counter-offer. :-/

How did you know I briefly considered countering? You’re right about all of this as well.

Your first loyalties need to be to yourself and your family. ...Don't play the counter-offer game. (No one ever wins.) Once you make up your mind to go, you need to just do it! If they offered you more $ to stay after you've said you're leaving, you should wonder why they didn't make that gesture sooner. Either way, good luck! Go boldly into the world, and be your best at whatever you do (wherever you do it)...and you'll always be able to sleep at night!
