From my contact who referred me, they said for my experience anywhere from 140-155k would be good (11 YOE and masters degree). Naturally, a $162,500 offer seems great when I originally gave a 150-170k spread of salary expectations. Thoughts? Def don’t want to come across greedy or ungrateful when it sounds like they gave a fair offer.",

So, I misheard the guy. Got the written offer today, it’s actually 3k HIGHER than I thought. Offer is $165,500!
My advice is to take it! The offer was in your range, and even your contact's information suggests you have a very good offer. If the offer was at the bottom of your range, I'd ask for more. But it's at the midpoint and has a bonus that will put your first year above your range.
This is exactly my thought as well! I feel like they came in above midpoint and made a very fair offer. I also don’t have any justification to ask for more and don’t want to put myself out there as greedy before I even start. Thank you for your input!
