Default Re: salary negotiation

e,

I'll come back to this thread this weekend, but I'll say one thing right now. In white collar jobs where there is room to negotiate, most people completely f this up and take offers that are far lower than where the company would have been totally willing to go.

Absolutely true. IMO, a minimum, a painless and reasonable expectation is 7-15% above the first offer.
