Well, I took a $20k pay cut to start that job on the premise that there was much more opportunity there and I'd be back to what I was making in short order. Didn't happen that way. When I went to quit, I really did have a better offer in hand and was planning to give my notice that day. My mom said I really should try to get my boss to make a counter offer. I was sure they could never afford it. And I was stunned when they matched it on the spot. Unfortunately, things haven't turned out so well since we were acquired by our new owner. They probably couldn't offer me anything to make me want to stay at this company and I'm sure they wouldn't try to counter any offer if I had one and took it to my boss. Right now it's a steady paycheck and not a career.
