Entry Level/slightly mid-level Data analytics. After 1st interview I asked salary, they "didn't have the info Infront of them". They came back next day and asked my expectations. I should've asked their range again but whatever. I gave them my number, which was 10-15k lower than what I should've said.
2nd interview happened. I was prepared to talk to HR about my new expectations but the conversation never came up, I was never alone with HR.
A few days after that interview, they offered me the job at my origibal number. I asked if we could bump it up (a 7k increase)-I got flustered during the call--i should've just asked for the full 15k more. But again, it is what it is.
They said ok, we'll see if it's doable. They got back in less than 2 hours saying yes.
They know I am give bg my 2 weeks notice to my current place Monday. I was thinking of calling Monday and basically saying "hi I resigned, but they offered to match the offer. Could you sweeten the pot a bit"
Hm... I think that is tricky. Probably some lessons learned, but since you asked them for a higher salary and they matched what you asked, I wouldn't go back and ask for more again.
What I would do is ask for a larger raise next year. At annual review time, you say something like "It's been a great year and I'm so glad to be working at <company>. One thing I want to discuss is that I was so excited for the opportunity to work here that I gave a lower number for salary expectations than I otherwise would have. And while I'm thrilled that the negotiations worked out and I did end up here, the difference in salary is proving more challenging than I anticipated. Accordingly, I would like to request a raise of $14,000. (or $9000 + whatever number they'd normally give you as a raise.) I recognize that this would normally represent an unusually large raise, but the important thing is that it would bring my salary more in line with the other offers I got when considering this position, and help alleviate continual worries in these challenging and uncertain economic times. Given my strong performance <assuming you did well> and my enthusiasm for <company you honestly don't give a shit about>, I don't think it would set a problematic precedent to make a one-time exception to our normal compensation adjustment patterns."
Just say you're reviewing a few offers and really hope you'll have the opportunity to consider theirs if the company is a mutual good fit.
also, let me know if you need more help as you go. I'm REALLY good at this shit.

Without doxxing yourself, can you give me a bit more context on what industry, and how the negotiations went before this? How do benefits compare?

Benefits are more or less the same
