patio11's classic post on negotiation: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/ https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/ I almost doubled my compensation in large part thanks to it for one of my positions. I increased: + Base salary by $75k + Signing bonus by $35k (from $0) + Stock options by $100k total (standard four year vesting, so $25k per year) If you're a knowledge worker in a sought-after field, particularly in the current environment of crazy salary explosion, you should absolutely read that blog post!
