When you get with HR, they're pros.
Really?
I have never worked at a technical company which gave any negotiation
latitude to the HR people. Only the hiring manager had that latitude.
This is not a zero sum game. Both sides need to feel that they are
getting their money's worth. Both sides have to work with one another
after this negotiation. Generally, a hiring manager will go back to the
well *once* for a candidate. However, that's it.
Good companies will make the offer that they can. You can negotiate
some, but you aren't likely to get more than 10% movement if the company
is behaving respectably.
Remember, if you squeeze too much out of them, they'll expect you to walk
on water, which puts you in a hell of a situation out of the box.
Personally, that doesn't bother me. I know that I walk on water.
I'm modest, too.
