Re: Negotiation 101 Mess Up - Possible To Fix?
Did you already "take" the offer, or just settle on a salary?
Honestly your best bet here is probably to just negotiate for better benefits. The real trick to negotiating is to always have an alternative (google BATNA). In this case, you can say that another company offered you X salary and Y benefits.
It would be a little sketchy to go beyond the salary you originally settled for, but you can push for more vacation, stock options, or a bonus. Think of it this way - one week's extra vacation could easily be worth $1000 to you.
