Not that it matters much, but I ended up with offers from both companies. Both companies are large (Penske and Ryder logistics divisions), whereas my current company is family owned and on the smaller side.
Company A offered 20% more than current salary.
Company B offered 30% more than current salary.
Company A has a commute that is only a few minutes longer than current, so it was not a factor.
Company B has a commute that is 5 times the distance/3 times the driving time as current commute.
Current company countered initially with a 7% raise which was not going to cut it even with the flexibility that I currently have for my family. After my counter offer to them, they came back with 16% raise. One of the forgotten perks of my current job is a profit sharing plan that they put 8% of our salary into each year. Add the profit sharing in and now we are sitting at an actual 22% raise.
I took less money, but I feel like it was the right place for me to be.
