Why You Searched
What the Counter Offers
Which of your original reasons does the counter address? (check all that apply)
The financial dimension, compensation, title, or benefits are now more in line with what I was seeking
A specific structural change, a new reporting line, an expanded mandate, or a documented scope change
A commitment that is specific, documented, and tied to a timeline, not a verbal assurance
Which of your original reasons does the counter NOT address?
The leadership dynamic or manager relationship that drove the search
The strategic direction of the organization
The ceiling on scope, influence, or development that the structure imposes
The fundamental mismatch between where this organization is going and where I want to go
