You are happily employed and enjoy working at your current company. You get approached by a recruiter and you get intrigued by a position a recruiter has presented you. You resign (hopefully gracefully) and you think the process is done. Not yet! 4 hours later, you get a call into your boss's office and when you sit down, you find out that the VP of Human Resources is sitting there with your boss. They say how valuable of an employee you really are and offer you a bump in pay.
