Good luck, Gud. I don't wish to add any stressors, but i recall Ask a Manager talking about taking counteroffers from your current company, and warned against pitfalls. I found this: [link] It doesn't quite fit your situation - it's directed at people seeking job offers specifically to try to force their employer to make a counteroffer - but some of it may be relevant.
I think she's mentioned before that of people who accept a counteroffer, something like 70% have left or been let go within the year. That does mean 30% haven't, and you know your situation and employer best. But you might find her thoughts helpful.
Had to skim, but I'm happy your services are in such demand, Gud! And I'm sorry about your bronchitis, Hil.
We have all of the (usually only on at night) lights on, and I think it's gotten darker in the past hour. No smoke smell though, at least in my part of SF. So weird. The sky is such a dark orange, it feels like we're in a cave.
Man, I want to go home but I don't wanna go home to THAT. Sigh.
it's cold here: snow is still falling and it's supposed to get colder...
All the pictures are so scary looking!
Gud, is there a reason you want to leave your current job, or is the new one just a better offer? That's what I'd consider when looking at the counter.
I am worried about all the CAistas and their lungs.
Yeah, it would be nice if the West coast would stop being on fire.
The LeGuin house is GORGEOUS!! It already has an offer in also.
The air quality here is red rather than dark red and yeah I should go put on a respirator. I don't understand why anyone resident of California would balk at wearing a mask for COVID, from what I've seen everyone wears them for smoke

Smoke isn't a Democrat hoax.
Yet.
