if you dont make moves from one company to another, the recruiting brokers dont get their brokerage. so they want you unsettled all the time. Nothing wrong in taking a counter offer...just that one should be practically prepared to handle higher responsibilities. There is no blackmail involved here. This article that way looks like a well orchestrated ploy by the recruiting brokers /hookers

Hey, would you take it if you were leaving your present position frustrasted or suffocated? How would a little promise convince you what your hard analysis preceding your decision to leave couldn't do?

If I am frustrasted or suffocated, I wouldnt wait for a new opportunity to roll by, I would simply resign (I have indeed done that). In most companies in India, an lower level employee is seen as an unexplainable threat to everyone above..if he is too intelligent for them to handle. Like Mr Naraya Murthy rightly said..and did with his own company, company owners aka directors must look for employees even better than themselves...bu how many company owners have this attitude? Most company owners in India are paranoiac when it comes to recruiting someone extremely talented.

well said ... never trust the recruiters ... they will make tall claims about the company, management, repuation, length of assignment (if contracting) etc. ... so, it is better to ask and confirm all those things at the interview with the prospective employer. Employers are less likely to lie as they know that they will have to face the employee when he learns the truth .... the recruiter, however, will either pretend ignorance or say that he was just a messanger.
