I took a counteroffer and made a lateral move to a different team about 6 months after. Worked out long-term, but that was a lot of stars that had to align.
Never taken a counteroffer. The well has already been poisoned.
I think more people should read this post. You are spot on with this. They didn't value you before you got a counteroffer, and now they suddenly do? Wrong. They were banking on you not leaving.

Agree, counteroffers are temporary solutions. And don’t expect to play that card a second time at the same employer.
Didn't think about it this way, but scary to know that some companies operate like this
If they don’t give it your before the counteroffer what makes you more valuable now? Like you implied. The target on your back just got bigger.
