u/IntroductionLate

After having accepted new position for $20k more than current job for same job level, including clearing background and accepting start date, I gave my resignation. Within 24 hours they countered with promotion and $35k more but no real change in job except taking on more work. Current job is 2 days with 2-3hr commute and new job would be fully remote baring quarterly travel - and may drop to twice a year. The new job would have 8% bonus and 3.5-4% raise and counter offer would be 20% (but never get full amount - maybe 70-80%) with 2% raises. Should I consider the counter offer even though I told them before they did this that I didn’t want one? Also have been passed over for raise/promotion for last year and just went through annual compensation ( with no mention of salary increases).

Just interested how hard it is to go from an L5 to L6 via an internal hire, or is this something that you can only really get coming from an external position?
