Just got an offer. Should I negotiate? I really feel like I have an qualifications and experience but I'm wondering if it would seem rude.

Sorry if I'm being vague, just really excited about it but I don't want to jump onboard without having my ducks in a row.

    I would not negotiate, If its your first IT job. just put in your 7-10 month, and then look for something better or ask for a raise.

    If it's your first job and you feel the pay is fair I wouldn't negotiate it's possible they have someone else lined up for the same job that will accept right away.

    If it's a specialized position then definitely counter, worst case they come back and say they can't match (try and stay reasonable with your counter, but ask for more than you'd ultimately like)

    I would say it depends on your talks with the employer. During my interview they told me I scored highest on the technical exam. So I on purposely asked for more, looking for a counter.
