I expect the new few weeks to be busy, and one big "let's make Sallyanne stay" fest. Too late!
It may also be a *fact finding* mission. You given them all the information they need to know, so beware of providing anything additional. Remember what you say can be used against you, or at least cut into your leverage, which you apparently have at this point in time.

Personally I think that you will have a plethera of job opportunities, Don't sell yourself short. They've done that for you long enough. You know your worth and it will hold you in good stead.

If they really want you to stay, they will make it worth your while and give you an iron clad contract (including a *no more crap* clause and a golden parachut). I'm not saying you should let them talk you into anything, but do listen. Keep all options open.
