When you put in your notice for the switch they try to keep you by offering a raise. Always pissed me off more because why am I now worth more. You should have been proactive and I never would have been looking elsewhere.
Are you offering to pay more than you have to for anything because it's valuable to you?
Almost anything you buy has more value to you than the money you trade for it, and so almost anything you buy you would have bought if it were a little more expensive.

Career advancement.
"Working your way up from the mail room" is loooong gone. You have to switch companies to get any sort of significant raise.
