[quote=Anonymous]Now is the time to negotiate. Once you're hired, it's much more difficult to try to negotiate for a raise. Ask for what you want, the salary and the vacation time. Don't phrase it like an ultimatum. But respond that you're interested in the offer. You feel like your experience, et cetera, puts you at X salary, and that the industry standard for your experience/education/whatever for leave is 4 weeks. See what they say, and then respond accordingly. But you need to sort out what you can live with. And the other part is, are you currently working? Are you still at your "last position" or did you already leave there? That makes a difference. It's easier to negotiate if you're still employed with the higher salary/leave. If you're currently out of work, my sense is that you can ask for more, but they'll probably stand firm on their offer.[/quote]
