If your company wants to retain you, it's not unreasonable for them to extend a counter offer when you announce your resignation. They may offer to increase your compensation and give you a promotion. The counter offer may be tempting, but consider this - you've already made the psychological break from the company, and perhaps you've made plans to work elsewhere, offer in hand. The company may be eager to keep you from walking out the door, but where were they when you expressed your concerns last year? It may be a desperate move on their part. Your loyalty may also be in question - you were prepared to leave the company. If you stay, how can they be sure you'll stay? For all intents and purposes, you've already checked out, and you are disengaged. Once you make the decision to leave, unless the circumstances deem otherwise, stick to your convictions.

If your company proposes a counter offer and you're not interested, decline politely. You don't want to give them any false expectations if you have no intention of staying. But if the offer is of interest to you, approach it with the same diligence as you would with a new employer. What are they offering you? Can they fulfill it long term? And, remind yourself again why you decided to leave before accepting a tempting offer.
