OK. forget a recruiter\'s advice for a minute. The issue is whether you will accept a counter offer or not immaterial of who get you the second job?
The question is not of recruiters commision but whether your boss/employer will have the same empathy for you down the line. From his eyes, you have extracted him pinching his vulnerability.
This is the difference between an employer and an employee. Employees mostly tend to think in terms of getting bigger cuts and less in terms of earning it.
I think the article has a lesson for all those who are likely to face that scene. There was no need to generalise that recruiters \"don\'t care\".
Judging recruites based on their career should lead you.
