What do you guys think about accepting a counter offer from your existing employer promising with better work opportunities in near future? The primary reason for exploring outside opportunity was better work but now my current manager is offering to put me on better and interesting projects. Compensation and other aspects about both jobs are very similar.

While the counter offer is in theory a good thing, the fact that you had to find another job for leverage your promotion or raise or responsibility level is an indication that they either took advantage of you and/or not value your talents as best they could.
However on the other side of the coin if you didnt even make your case or express you were deserving of these things before seeking another role externally, why would management think or give you more money for the heck of it? It works both ways.
For the record I still left, and donโt regret it.
Move on!
+2 for flight risk, too.
