Okay girls… for those of you working in banking and finance and professional services firms: brace yourself! A survey of 2095 accounting and finance professionals by recruitment firm Marks Sattin Australia found 360 had resigned at least once in the last six months and of those 31 per cent had received a counter offer from their employer to stay. The survey found that the number of men and women offered more money to stay was about equal. However, of those, 25 per cent of the men were offered 20 per cent or more to stay compared to just 15 per cent of the women.
