Based on the Values Value practice, there is a real possibility of securing a salary increase in such a scenario. In fact, some companies only offer raises when employees bring in outside offers. We once engaged in negotiations with employees from a well-known company and made three consecutive offers, all of which were declined because the employees received counteroffers. Later other employees from that company proved our hypothesis.
So, what else could happen if you approach your employer for a raise while demonstrating that another company is interested in hiring you?
Before you dive into salary negotiations, it’s a good idea to evaluate the maturity of your company’s culture and try to foresee how your specific situation might play out.
Remember, that only 6% of respondents of the Big Games Industry Employment Survey 2023 raised their salaries after they reported their desire to quit. So, in any case do not start negotiations by threatening to quit.
