Definitely don't take the first offer. I just accepted an offer and I rejected their first proposal. I asked them for 15% more but was really looking for about 9% more - which is what I got.

Overall, I'm making 20% more than my current salary and I couldn't be happier.

However, if my current job matches or offers more, should I go back to the new employer with that offer? Is that kosher?

I appreciate the advice. There are other factors than money - much shorter commute/lighter work load, which affected my initial decision. Also, after talking to my current boss, who's also on his way out, they are only willing to match base compensation.

That being said, I'm going to continue with the new position and will remember this experience for next time.
