I'm in salary negotiations for a great role, but there's a small gap (~$10k) to even match my old salary. They have most of the obvious benefits like unlim. vacation, low healthcare premiums, 401k matching, permanent WFH, etc.

Right now, severance pkg. and a more senior title are most important. Has anyone negotiated a title bump? Outcome?

Are there additional benefits I should also consider?

Unlimited vacation is a scam, don’t fall for it. You’re smarter than that

For sure. Vacation days used to be a great way to balance out salary gaps... until companies realized the millions they would save offering unlim. PTO

Don't fall for the unlimited vaca. Permanent WFH though sounds great especially if you can maybe move to another state next year or so...

10k is nothing if you are playing the long game...if the role is right, the development opportunities in line with your expectations I would go for it (and potentially negotiate a 10k stock options package - vested over one year or if they fire you - to compensate the 1st year gap) This shows 1) your readiness to change and take a step back to accomplish that (shows how committed you are for the long term change) and 2) your confidence that you will climb up the ladder based on your capabilities (as you are willing to settle for lower base)
