It took me many years to learn the leave and counter game. The caveat is once you start playing this, you lose trustworthiness in the eyes of your employer. You get money, but lose promotions. I think firms need to be consistent. Either play the game all the time, or never. If you waver, you might lose someone who just thinks it's a way to get a raise. The investment banks are the worst at this.
