Is it unprofessional to negotiate a higher salary with the company I signed with if my former company is counter-offering $10k more? My salary with the new company would be $72.5k but the counter-offer is $83k. They both match PTO and my remote requirement. Benefits are comparable. I’m a Database Developer in Michigan.
