The main reason highly technical people do not get PM jobs, or any high management job for that matter, is becuase people generally do not speak in binary.
If you can not sell an idea or explain a problem to business management, they are not going to hire you to lead up there technical crew. How would they then understand what the group is doing? EVEN if the PM is a ditz, they at least THINK that they have a handle on the situation. Most technical people I know have people skills that end with video conferencing with their "clan" of Magic players.
If you get a better offer from another company, you should give your company at least the courtesy of attempting to counter-offer.
You know how your employer feels about you, or at least you should. And if you are a hard worker, someone who produces for the company, and not basically a shmuck for the past 2 years, informing your present employer that a job kind of 'fell from nowhere' into your lap and you are considering it, there should be no problem.
If you beleive that your present company doesn't really care if you live or die, just get the work done, then I would suggest not attmepting to get a counter-offer, why would you want to stay there anyway?
