I've worked for my current company for quite a long and I do not many issues as other people on this sub have and I receive a very good benefits package as well. The only issue: my salary has not been increased to be competitive like other engineers and to make that happen I have to find another job. HR blocked my request and I always have a bad feeling about the HR director who I think is kind of secretly racist as I am from a foreign country.
After 1 week of searching, I got an offer from one of the top companies in the world. I will turn in my 2-week notice and I know my employer will counter-offer but I will reject their counter-offer. It is not because I think they will find a replacement to replace me or anything that matters, although I never think I am not replaceable but it will cost them more to find some person who has my skills. I just feel there is no point. Once I am gone, I won't look back.
