How much room is there after an offer? - 7 weeks in

It is the first offer in 8 months and I do not want to mess it up. I am in Louisville, in case local advice matters. The benefits are decent. Did you negotiate?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Most employers expect a short conversation. Mine did not even blink.
