The first time I tried to negotiate (2006) I asked for $52k from $50k and they told me no. The next time (2008), offer was $60k, I countered at $100k (job required relocation) and we met at $80k. The next time (2011), offer was $110k, got $120k (relo again, this time to a tech center) Next time (2012), offer was $125k, got $140k and more equity. I’ve never had a job offer rescinded over it which was always something I heard about growing up. Of course times change and ymmv.
