It's always "ok" to counter - if it's not ok to bring the very idea of it up you need to seriously consider if that's the attitude you want to under. The issue would simply be how adamant you are about it. There's a difference between "I need this much" and "I'd feel better with a bit more". > just curious what others have done? > i did get them to bump me from 2 weeks of V to 3 > and get to work e-mote 3 out of 5 days. Those are pretty good perks. It depends on how much they're worth to you. > i know my honey will just want me to take it and be thankful. > i am kinda ticked its not what they said it would be and it has taken > then 3 > months to even get to this point! Well - with a verbal offer you have all the more reason to ask about more. You may get an honest "we can't go higher right now" and grab a few more perks or a "well, we can go up a bit more..."
