Offer arrived, can I still ask for more?, paralegal here

I want to negotiate but I am afraid they will withdraw. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The hiring manager was friendly and open. Did you negotiate?

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

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