Leaving IBD - Compensation Negotiation

Hey guys, I'm a junior associate in TMT coverage, expecting to make around mid $200s this year. Recently got a strategy offer in a start up, and team wants to enter salary/comp negotiations. They offered around 180, but was wondering how much leeway I could take here and best approach to do so.

Any specific advice? Thanks
