I am an associate at a top 5 firm. 2 months ago I resigned to go in house at a client for more money. I resigned and next day some Partners met with me and made me a “counter offer” so I wouldn’t leave. I obviously stayed, as it was an offer I could not refuse.
I just want general thoughts on this. Is this common? Can I push my luck and ask for more concessions? At what point will they let me go, e.g. if I get another offer for significantly more money, would they just keep throwing more money at me? At what point do they just let me walk?
Edit: I am a 5th year. Just to be clear, i negotiated what i negotiated 2 months ago prior to deciding to stay. I am not trying to renegotiate the terms just 2 months after. What I was referring to was any potential renegotiations or if I got another offer elsewhere 1 or 2 years from now.
