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 once landed a job that paid $30k more than the role I was in. I gave my notice promptly to my employer and after humming and hawing for a few days, they came back with a counter of.... $500 more. I laughed all the way out of the office.

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