#2> Now say you end up turning down their offer. They’ve spent over $24,000 just extending this single offer to you (to say nothing of opportunity costs), and now they’ll essentially have to start over from scratch.
Most of that is to hire someone, not just 'you'. And they aren't even close to having to start from scratch if you don't accept.

True. But they really do want you if they made an offer. I have never heard of someone asking for 5k more get their offer yanked, but I know people afraid to ask for that reason.
The exact # they lose if you say no isn't the point. You are the top choice. Doesn't mean they will double your offer but they do like you.

If you didn't see his previous posts he's clearly a pretty skilled self-teacher - negotiated up to 220K offers at Google and Airbnb despite going to a bootcamp.

I have had success with asking for modest increases. I think it helps to have a good reason, like them not doing any 401k matching.

>he's clearly a pretty skilled self-teacher
I think it's pronounced "self-promoter."

Is the median salary for the position a valid reason for an increase? For example 93000 is the median for software engineers in US according to the government.

Anything that works is a valid reason....don't overthink it.
