Counter offer. Ask for a sufficiently large consternation and a 2 year severance should it not work out. Just like executives. They get a lot more.

What is "a consternation"? I've never heard this term and can't find it referenced anywhere.

I think it's autocorrect for compensation.

Sorry about that. Typo. I meant, "compensation".

If their 3.75% mortgage was originally for $1M and has 25 years left, just the cost of giving that up is about $250k. I don't think anyone's giving out a $250k sign-on bonus for a non-executive.

As the great one said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take".
