Am I being low balled too much at an offer for 140k base salary in industry? I have 5 yoe and am out of Missouri. The position is local and in office.

I see my peers exiting to industry closer to 160-180k but they're also taking jobs in higher cost of living areas. I could probably jump to another B4 at that pay grade but I also want to start working locally and making my roots here
