It was still a good bump from my Amazon pay and I was happy to bail from Amazon regardless, so I took it.
The main leverage I had was leaning on my current position at Amazon thus not being desperate, so I leverage that as much as I could. If I were to do it again I would have given $450k as a "make me move" number then let them negotiate down.
It's tough because I do this maybe every five years, but they probably do it a few times a week.
