What do you mean "accepting counter offers is a bad move"? What would be the point of negotiating then?

Is this referring to a counter offer after threatening to quit, a counter offer during the hiring process, or both?

I would assume after threatening to leave.

Here's a thread from a while ago discussing counter offers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4970843

From what I gather when you dislike it enough to quit you start to resent little things. No more free coffee, no vacation, too many hours, office politics/culture. Not the money.

Not always the case but when you get to the tipping point it's because things went too far already.

That makes sense to me, once I've decided to move on, I'm done: it's not about the money at that point. But since the article was about job offers, and so were most of the comments, I thought I may have missed something.
