Current Job Matched Offer - Negotiate?

Got an offer that was a bump across the board: pay (20%+), title, "name" of company. Current role just matched pay - should I go back to offer and ask to "continue conversation for budget of the role"?

Candidly this new role is on the FHA/Fannie/Freddie LP side which I'm not savvy with yet, so there will be a learning curve. Have the transferable skills but there will still be a ramp up period. Want to see if I can push but also jaded some on current role and want a change so don't want to "screw up" or start on wrong footing. Should I take the new offer as-is or push back? Would do things professionally and cordially.

Thanks in advance

Have you already accepted/signed the new role/offer before you told your current company?

If so, then I would advise against trying for more. That is what we in the business call a re-trade and it ALWAYS creates bad feelings.

 

If all your firm done has matched it I wouldn't bother trying to negotiate for more. If you were looking to leave, there's likely issues other than just pay, and if all they've done is match it that doesn't really put them in a strong position vs. your offer. If they offered a significant premium to the offer, the other firm would understand why you'd come back looking for more.
