[quote=Anonymous]There is nothing to lose by negotiating as long as you're being reasonable. For instance, if you want them to match your current salary or you've done research showing people with your experience in this type of job make x. What's not reasonable is to say "My mortgage is x so I need to make x" or to ask for a lot more money when you knew what the salary range was going into the job. It concerns me that you wonder "How much higher salary can I ask for?". Have you done research to know the typical range for the type of position you've been offered? You can't just ask for a random amount of money because it sounds good to you without some reason to back it up. You can certainly ask for more vacation but I'd be shocked if you get it. I do have a friend who recently got additional unpaid leave because she had a wedding planned but unless you're an executive benefits aren't generally very negotiable.[/quote]
