5k is what, $150/paycheck? You won't notice, take it if it's a good role and they won't budge
I live in NYC & I’m from SF so yeah for us $5k always does matter & can often times be the bridge that makes us go from uncomfortable to comfortable. Imagine it wouldn’t make much diff in a place like Texas.
100k is such an interesting number, especially for us folks with less YOE. It’s such a psychological things. We put so much stock into this magical number, just interesting

I just want my 100k😭😭😭. Like no one in my family makes that much so it very much is a psychological thing for me.
At three yoe I would be grateful and take the 95 offer you really are replaceable and can continue to build your career into six figures
Don't worry about what you make now. Tell them what it will take for you to join. Be prepared to walk away. Get a competing offer if possible. Also consider other levers like sign on bonuses, performance bonuses, etc. that make up total comp.
Tell them that
...tell them that in negotiations?
Tell them a number. Communicate to them that you will sign right now if that match that number.
Just be prepared to stick to your word and walk if they don't. Otherwise you look like a fool. Honestly $5k isn't worth making a line in the sand over.
