Counter-Offer Strategy

Help me develop a counter-offer strategy.

Current situation:
- I received an offer from [COMPANY] for [ROLE]
- Their offer: [SALARY AND KEY TERMS]
- What I want: [YOUR IDEAL PACKAGE]
- My current employer: [HAS/HAS NOT] made a counter-offer
  of [DETAILS IF APPLICABLE]

My priorities (rank these):
- Base salary
- Bonus potential
- Equity/stock
- PTO/flexibility
- Remote work
- Title
- Growth opportunities
- Other: [SPECIFY]

Help me:
1. Decide whether to counter-offer (is it appropriate
   for this situation?)
2. Determine my counter number with justification
3. Draft the counter-offer communication (email or script
   for phone)
4. Prepare for each possible response:
   - They accept my counter
   - They meet me halfway
   - They say the offer is final
   - They rescind the offer (rare but possible)
5. Set my walk-away point (what's the minimum I'd accept?)
6. Create a decision framework if I'm choosing between
   multiple offers
