During the interview process, I mentioned that I was looking for a salary in the $95-105k range, and I was told for this position they're likely offering in the $95-100k range. That was totally fine with me since it's over $20k higher than what I make now anyway.
Flashforward to today, I was offered the position with a $100k salary - while I'm taking a few days to think about it, the hiring manager straight up told me that if my current company offers to match, they're willing to go higher, and that if there's something my current employer is offering benefit-wise that they don't, they're willing to match.
I feel like I have a lot of leverage here, since it seems like this company really wants me. I am actually going to go back to them to see if they'll match my current PTO days (I currently have 23, while this new company is offering me 21), but part of me would also like to try to negotiate up to the $105k that was at the top end of the salary I was looking for, even though $100k was the high end of what they originally noted.
Am I pushing my luck on that / should I just take the $100k?
