Be careful. I threw out a number and my now boss said okay let me pound the table and see if I can make that happen. 5 minutes later he calls me back saying congrats! I’m so excited you will be joining! I already told the rest of the team!

Lol so be clear that you are still thinking about it even if they get you the bigger number.
