I have had many salary negotiations over the years. I have also negotiated various perqs, including: a paid housekeeper, bonuses, stock options, payment for professional association dues and attendance at convention (including time as professional development and not vacation), paid training, payment of professional extras like my notary public stamp, severance packages and more.
You are in a position of power when you have received an offer and have not yet accepted it. There is nothing wrong with sweetening the pot a little. You just need to tread carefully to not appear greedy. I have finetuned my approach over the years based on the company, the individual job, and the opportunities it opens up for me.
Men are trained from childhood to go for "more". Women are trained to be "thankful they have a job". That just doesn't cut it for me. This is one area where I definitely say, be like a guy!!!
