If you are still interested in the position. You tell them you make 5k more than you actually do and ask if that can match it. You have to decide if you are willing to make a lateral move for a better opportunity. If it’s not better, you already know the answer.

Depends if there's flexibility, i.e. after 6 months you can renegotiate (could be a current scope issue), you're able to get awesome benefits like more PTO, paid maternity or paternity leave, working from home on Fridays or only working M-Th., etc.

The biggest question is do you want this job? If there are other, better opportunities, go get them. Am I the only one who has countered with more than the max being offered and it was matched?
