Experience in that area... (Score 1)

My friend did that, excepted the counter offer. He got his raise, but all the trainign they promised him turned from instructor lead training into computer based training when they found out the cost. His "official counter offer" only said "training for A+, N+, and MCSE". If a company's taking advantage of you now, they are very likely to in the future, if not moreso since you "almost abandoned them".
