Counter Offer…Great news… right?

Counter Offer…Great news… right?
Congratulations… you got a new job offer that you like! Then, when you went back to give notice to your current employer they said: “Hey wait! We don’t want to lose you, we’ll add you a few thousands or give you that promotion!”

Great news… right?

Maybe… but probably not!

More money always sounds nice… but here are some things to consider before accepting that counter-offer and staying at your current company…

Why were you willing to interview in the first place? Although it’s not necessarily a bad thing to consider other opportunities that may be available to you, people that are fulfilled in their current job rarely take the time to interview for something else. The prospect of more money can be attractive, however, overall job satisfaction is rarely a function of someone’s salary. Getting a significant raise in your current job is not likely to address the other reasons you were open to interviewing for a new position in the first place. The culture hasn’t changed, your boss hasn’t changed, the job responsibilities haven’t changed, your co-workers haven’t changed, the stress, hours, and expectations haven’t changed… so will the extra money really improve your situation? Not likely!

World Bank Recruitment In Kenya : Poverty Economist

World Bank Recruitment In Kenya : Poverty Economist
Location: Kenya
Description:
Job # 102249
Job Title POVERTY ECONOMIST (RWANDA)
Job Family Poverty Reduction
Location Kigali, Rwanda
Appointment Local Hire
Closing Date 29-Nov-2010
Language Requirements English [Essential]; French [Desired]
Appointment Type

Background / General description
   1. The World Bank is seeking applications for co-terminous Poverty Economist position. The position will be located in Rwanda country office, and will be remunerated according to the local salary scale. Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) have become the main instrument for country-led development strategies in low income countries. As noted in the recently concluded UN Summit of September 2010, progress has been achieved in several areas, including a clearer focus on results (especially with respect to the Millennium Development Goals) and a better alignment of external assistance. On the other hand, many PRSPs are not explicit enough in terms of the key priorities and tradeoffs involved in policy making and budgetary allocations. Some of the main areas for strengthening the PRSPs include more attention to public expenditure management (i.e., better linkages of the PRSP to the budget) a more systematic use of poverty and social impact analysis as a tool for assessing the distributional impacts of policies, and wider participation in program formulation, monitoring and evaluation by various segments of society including civil society organizations. To support the PRS preparations, the Belgian and Luxemburg Governments, through their respective development cooperation agencies, established Belgian and Luxemburg Partnership for Poverty Reduction (BPRP and LPRP) Trust Funds. The BPRP and LPRP are Trust Funds managed by the World Bank to support preparation and implementation of PRSPs in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cape Verde, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Niger, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania. The key priorities of these Trust Funds (TFs) are: to achieve a closer collaboration on the ground between the World Bank and the Government units designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating poverty reduction policies and programs in the partner countries and at the sub-regional level;
   2. to scale-up the analytical work funded by the TFs in order to better inform the PRSPs and their implementation, with a focus on improving poverty diagnostic work, conducting poverty and social impact analysis (PSIAs) of major reforms and policies, and reinforcing the links between the PRSPs and the budget (including work on Medium Term Expenditure Frameworks within the context of the Millennium Development Goals);
