Hi Anon,
That's sweet.
Here are some thoughts:
Do you want to stay?
Can you negotiate a new contract?
If yes to the above, do get your "higher salary" + tons of perks.
Cheers,
Pascalβββ

Ask yourself what's your motivation, if it's money and you don't have a better offer, then take it. But if it's career growth and you feel that even if your salary increases but it won't aid your career, then look for something better. My two cents, a counteroffer never fulfills your intrinsic motivations long term. It's just for a bigger pay check - which would only satisfy you if your main work motivation is money.

It sounds like reverse psychology happening to me. I think it highly depends on your relationship with your boss, any potential changes to your scope, and also your comfort level on the culture at your company.
To me, a raise may potentially come with more responsibilities (depending on the extent of the raise) so it is important to clarify this before you make your decision. Also, because it is clear that your boss only appears to treasure you when you resigned, there must be other reasons that triggered you to resign on top of the above mentioned reason. Everyone's personal situation differs so do consider carefully and weigh your options against your own personal situation and also with what's available in the market.

I will consider taking the pay raise for 3 months before looking at my options again, in the meantime to see if you can uprank with your job title as well. Defintely will help you with your next job later on, maybe take this time to be send out for training etc as well.
