How To Know If You Should Negotiate A Job Offer

How do I know if I should negotiate a job offer?

Every job offer should be and can be negotiated. If you, let's say, are expecting a job offer of $50,000 and you get the job offer of $50,000; keep in mind that $50,000 may very well be the low end of what the employer's salary range could be. So, why not come back and say, "Thank you very much for the position. I'd be delighted to take the position at $60,000" You've just made $10,000, haven't you? So, any point that you want to negotiate, now is the time to do it. The only time you have the power to negotiate anything about your job is when that offer is on the table. Once you accept that position, your negotiating power immediately goes away, so make sure you use that time between the offer and the acceptance to ask for anything, specifically, that you really want.
