They are paying more than the competition. Is the offer market rate? If so, do you want the job? Have you considered long term issues or is a starting salary as far as you've thought...?

Can't multiquote from my phone, so I'll try to answer all. I was intentionally vague in OP, so I'll clarify.

I inflated my base because I am due a raise in August/September from performance last year. Estimating that would put me at the "inflated" number. In addition, I am well underpaid for my experience. In fact, when I gave them my inflated number, their response was "Yeah, you are underpaid".

My only angle would be in terms of bonus/signing bonus. Coming on mid-year only entitles me to half the bonus. I could negotiate this as a signing bonus. The base salary is in line with experience and field/market.

I will be losing some 401k match the first few years. They have a progressive match, while we have a flat constant match.

And yes, I've considered other aspects of it. There's some advantages, and of course some unknowns.

I realize it's being greedy, but at the same time I'm fairly certain there is money left on the table. However, I am leaning to simply accepting.
