Not move to new company for higher pay

Landed higher-paying job but didn't want to relocate, now regret not negotiating salary at current company

What I wish I knew
"Negotiate salary before interviewing other companies"
If I could tell you one thing
"Research market rate before interviewing and negotiate salary at your current company"
