If we provide onsite opportunity, will you stay here?

What HR Is Really Asking:

They’re trying to retain you by offering a better opportunity.
So your answer must reflect:

• Honesty
• Professionalism
• Your priorities
• Respect for their interest in keeping you

Best Way to Answer (If You’re Open to Staying):

Option 1: (If you're genuinely interested to stay)

"I truly value the time I’ve spent here, and the new opportunity sounds promising. If the onsite role is aligned with my career goals and offers long-term growth, I’d be open to reconsidering my resignation."

This keeps the door open without fully committing blindly.

Option 2: (If you've decided to leave, but want to be respectful)**

"I really appreciate the onsite opportunity and the company’s trust in me. However, I’ve already committed to another offer based on my career planning and timing. If things were discussed earlier, I might have considered it."

This shows gratitude without burning bridges.

Bonus: If You Want Time to Think

"That’s a great opportunity, and I truly appreciate it. I’d need a little time to consider all aspects carefully before making a final decision."

This buys you time if you're unsure.

Tips:

• Be polite and professional, never dismissive.

• Always express gratitude even if declining.

• If you’re declining, make it about timing and commitment, not dissatisfaction.
