Can check with you the counter offer you took is with NCS?

Thanks. That's what every articles I google points to.
My worry is mgmt may give me what I "request" for this time but moving forward, chances are will not groom me and career will hentak kaki cepat hentak. At my age, I'll be in a worst position if it indeed happen.

Of course that is going to happen. Put yourself in the shoes of your management. Lets say this employee comes to u and requests for counter offer. You will have these thoughts:
Can i afford to lose him? What exactly is his job scope and how long do i need to retain him until i can finally let him go? Eg. Is he doing crucial work on this project? How long is this project? Are there someone who i can onboard and he can transfer knowledge to this person fast?
Lets say there is no one and the project is coming to an end in 2months. I only need to retain this person for that 2 months. Lets give him what he wants, eg. 30% increment. And get rid of him after 2 months. That 30% will be more than enough to tide him over that other role, and will be high enough such that he feels appreciated etc and wont be too much of a cost to the company since im planning to get rid of him in 2 months.
You may think it is cold hearted etc but this is the reality. Im a manager. And whenever attrition is happening and candidate asks for counter offer, these are the considerations we would have.

Yes it was from NCS. I have since progressed well in the company. It goes back to why you wanted to quit. If its because of some misalignment in the things you are doing and both parties can work together and solve such that you get what you want and company can offer then it’ll be fruitful for both parties. Key thing here is it shouldnt just be for money. Definitely not true that career would hentak kaki. I had a RO who wanted to retain quality ppl. Afterall, its not good for the company to lose well performing employees who they have been training and alr understand the company way of business.

Have to agree. Once put on table, very unlikely for both parties to pretend it never end.
Mgmt will also start to preapre for your replacement, either a new hire or someone in the company to "take over" you in case you leave again.
