Nope. Just did the same myself. Ask respectfully and it will be great for both parties. It saved us a bunch of time upfront as they were paying about 25% lower than I needed to make the jump.

Best of luck!

No. Especially if they’re reaching out to you. It just saves time for both parties.

Not at all. Will save yourself a lot of time knowing upfront
