Dig in and make an argument about why you should get the higher salary. One valid argument I’ve seen work is that you have a guaranteed step increase in banking in base and a considerably higher variable comp. If you’re in this for the long term, you will be much more cash poor than if you’d have stayed in banking (until an eventual liquidity event). On another note, if they’re going to fuss over 8k, probably not the right company.
What is your current base?
Yeah 8k... for real?
Wait they changed the offer? They told you x, then said oh wait actually y?
