Help! Need some tips on negotiating. Step by step.

SC at Deloitte offered at AWS for L5 data scientist. Big raise to $240k TC. 3 YOE+MS. Word of mouth says that this is a good offer for my location (DC). I have a bunch of questions and I'm also looking for any tips for anything I'm missing.

-Even if it's a good offer, is there always $ on the table to ask for?
-I have a final interview elsewhere this Thursday. Should I start negotiating now or wait until I hear on the other option?

$240k for a L5 in DC seems pretty strong based on what I’ve seen over the past 2-3 months.

-My $15k pension at Deloitte vests in October which may be before my start date. Offer specifies very soon start date but it isn't really final. Should I bring this up as a negotiating point or issue ASAP or not until after negotiations?
-i asked about one on ones to get a sense of the team. Should I wait till after those to negotiate?

And anything else I'm missing?

What is the base vs RSU?

$160k base + sign on bonus paid over 2 years + RSUs. Much much more sign on in Y1 and Y2 so cash and much much more RSU in Y3 and Y4 (80% of $150k in RSUs in those years).

What role and city?

Hey OP, how was your interview for AWS?

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?
