My last move, I reached for the stars and got it. Now, I had some facts supporting my counteroffer based on the increased job responsibilities and the benefits I was giving up, but I added a bit more cream on top and they supplied the cherry. I also kinda had them over a barrel as I was clearly perfect for the job and was one of maybe two or three people within two hours of our office who had the particular expertise needed for the job, not to mention the only one who had previously worked with the other executives they were planning to hire.

I went as high as I thought I could without coming off as holding them hostage and it worked out.
