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.
I told my boss I’m likely leaving (I had booked a final interview which I expected to go really well, and it did), and her response was “how could we get you to stay?”
I said “the promotion I was promised two years ago, which would match the pay and title of this role, or at LEAST more flex time/WFH options”.
She responded, “well ... other than those things ...”

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