I was recently offered a job and foolishly accepted the first offer that they made me, but have since learned (via salary calculator) that I should have asked for more -- MUCH more. (The 25th percentile was $7k more, the 50th percentile $14k more, and the 75th $29k more.) Come to think of it, I do remember the person who would/will be my supervisor being pleasantly surprised when I told her my asking range.)
My only possible saving grace is that I haven't signed any paperwork. Do I have room for renegotiation, or have I already shot myself in the foot? And if I do ask for more, how do I go about doing so?
