    Up 24k from current gig? Sounds like a no brainer to me!

    But then again... your situation may be much different from when you received that salary at your current job.

    It would be mostly a judgement call on your part if you think you can negotiate for better compensation. There are many factors to consider. The biggest thing for the employer is they will be looking at current market value for their new hire and weighing the potential value you will add to their company. Keyword being value - if you as an employee turn out to be a wise investment for the company and add a lot of value to their business it shouldn't be a problem to ask for a little more. However, flipside, employers often like to see the value-added before they start forking over more cash.
