re: Negotiating Salary for New Job - Satisfied with Initial Offer

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.
