I wish this article had been published 7-8 months ago. I fell into the trap of a counter-offer, thinking my 'value' was being recognised, but alas... all promised were hoax, and i am repenting the biggest mistake of my career.

Dont worry dude, u can consider changing now atleast!
Always remember, leave with a pleasant note saying, "I will come back!" Its upto you whether to comeback or not but u will retain ur value in both the places the former by leaving with a pleasant note and the later by accpeting the offer and being honest

good point ... always leave saying that you hold nothing against the company or the management and that you will consider returning if there were such an opportunity in the future ... this way, should things not work out in your new job or if they lied to you about the company, job or prospects, you can consider returning to the old job.
