> you're just in it for the money Well yes it's a job. Someone will agree to do a task they wouldn't otherwise do in exchange for cash. Withdrawing a job offer because someone tries to negotiate is crazy, negotiating is just part of doing business. Proactive employees are the kind of people you want to hire, they're the people who are going to push your company forward rather than just doing the work required. Frankly I think you're crazy if you don't try to negotiate salary when you've been made a job offer, you're in a better negotiating period at that stage than you'll ever be. Often spending half an hour negotiating salary can results in a difference of thousands of dollars. When you go to buy a car do you pay sticker price or do you negotiate ? - your time is the single most expensive thing you'll ever sell. Don't make the mistake of not negotiating the best price you can for it.
