I finally put in my two weeks' notice yesterday, and my firm immediately offered me a $20k raise. It’s tempting because it solves the immediate money issue, but it doesn't change the fact that our software is from the 90s and the culture is toxic. Has anyone here actually stayed after a counter-offer and had things actually improve?

Nope. Think that they underpaid you 20k a year because they could. Then they’ll hold it against you later.
