Executive Careers with Fexingo · 2026-07-18 · 11 min
In this episode of Executive Careers with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into a high-stakes moment many senior leaders face: receiving a counteroffer from their current employer after announcing a resignation. Lucas breaks down a real case - a Fortune 500 CFO who was offered a 40 percent raise, a board seat, and a special bonus to stay - and why accepting it would have been a career trap. They discuss the data: 80 percent of leaders who accept counteroffers leave within 12 months anyway. Lucas shares the three-question framework to evaluate whether the counteroffer signals genuine change or just a temporary patch. Luna challenges the emotional pull of loyalty and golden handcuffs. This episode gives senior leaders a repeatable decision process for one of the trickiest moments in career transitions. #Counteroffer #SeniorLeader #CareerStrategy #ExecutiveCareers #Negotiation #CFO #Fortune500 #Loyalty #GoldenHandcuffs #CareerTransition #JobOffer #Resignation #Compensation #BoardSeat #DecisionFramework #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
