Executive Careers with Fexingo · 2026-07-29 · 7 min
In this episode of Executive Careers with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the high-stakes decision every senior leader eventually faces: the counteroffer from your current employer. Drawing on recent data and real-world anecdotes, they explore why counteroffers feel flattering but statistically lead to regret. They discuss the psychology behind the offer - why it's often a short-term retention tactic, not a genuine career investment - and lay out a practical framework for evaluating the decision without emotion. Listeners will learn the three key questions to ask before accepting a counteroffer, why the 12-month survival rate for those who stay is surprisingly low, and how to negotiate an exit that leaves both sides intact. Whether you're a VP, C-suite executive, or senior leader considering a move, this episode will help you separate ego from strategy and make a clear-eyed choice. Plus, a candid moment about what keeps this podcast ad-free and listener-supported.
