Is accepting counter offer safe at Microsoft?

The other company has already completed H1B transfer, etc. Is it burning 2 bridges at once? Will accepting counter offer affect long term career growth and reputation?

Very burnt

Yes

Do you know anyone who has done that?

Manager says even if you choose to stay that will not change my stand in the team

Just google counteroffer. Be a grown up. Accepting that shit is redic!

Do not accept a counter offer. You just put a target on yourself that you wanted to leave. They’ll put that HR not a team player bs on you

Awful idea. In the MS stackranking world that means that your manager will stack other people higher than you, because you’re not worth the investment if you’re likely to leave soon anyway.
