you need to call the recruiting coordinator or someone at the company and ask

them how the company deals with counter offers. You may want to counter offer company A by letting them know that you simply cannot cover all of your household obligations at the number they are offering but that you are in agreement with all other terms and conditions. If they can give you an extra $4,000/year, then you are excited and ready to move forward.

I'm not fond of transitioning companies. Mergers suck.

5/21/15 12:34pm

Yep... that's how I got laid off from my last job...

Company B sounds like that is the direction they are headed
