<prompt> Human: Can I now go back to the new company and tell them the situation in hopes that they match in order to sway me back again? I feel like that is playing both sides too much, especially since I already accepted. Assistant: You arent really in a position to ask for more money from the new company. You signed what you thought was a fair deal, so you have to live with that for the time being. However, you are most likely able to just walk away from the new company and take the raise at your current one. That would depend on the nature of what you signed. It would just mean youd be unlikely to be able to get a job at the new company again. Most likely, it looks like you were undervaluing yourself, so take that as a learning experience moving forward and ask for more money at your next salary negotiation or job.Human: True. I shouldnt have accepted the offer before speaking with my current boss. Rookie mistake. Lesson learned the hard way.  <response>: I disagree. You avoided a harder lesson which is going back to the old boss because he magically can afford to give you more money. Son, he could have given you this a long time ago. You did the right thing by moving on with the new job.
