My mom pleaded with me to not be firm when I went to give my two weeks notice to my boss. She said to make it feel like I was open to a counter. And that's what happened and it worked out very well. At the time I hadn't even considered it because the offer I had was way better than I thought my current company could counter, even if they wanted to do so. But they did and it was within a few hours. My boss asked me when I needed to hear counter by. I said "today." And he did it. Sometimes you just have to be prepared to really walk before someone will pay you more.
