Can't speak to the IT angle but regarding counteroffers, I've always felt that if it takes another company's offer and a threat of leaving for a company to suddenly see more value in an employee,...

Are you daft? 11 years = you just started. More money, more money, more money. You are FAR too young to settle for cush at this time in your career. Leave for the best offer and if something comes...

I would look for a software consulting firm that gives you a cut of your billable hours after X number of hours. That way if you are outperforming your peers by that much you will get paid that much...

If you mean go get offers, then show to your current employer for more money, this is very bad advice and will likely leave you unemployed once they have found your replacement.
