[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally reasonable to say you want more than your current salary, and to say your bonus is part of that. But of course they can say they can't do that. 
Those who say you can't or shouldn't negotiate definitely aren't leaning in! Negotiation is how you get ahead![/quote]

Totally agree here!  I have negotiated since graduating from undergrad!  My first job with a top 3 consulting firm after undergrad I negotiated.  What killed me was the other sheep candidate that didn't so it wouldn't be fair.  Fast forward- post MBA, I get an offer and ask for more- if you don't ask for more- you will never get it (worst thing they say is no- it is not rescinding an offer).  As for vacation, I have over 10 years of experience so when I heard 2-3 weeks, that was fine for entry level.  But I am not entry level.  So, I bring this up after the salary negotiation- more as a given than 2 weeks would not work.

Answer- nothing to lose, everything to gain in negotiating![/quote]
