Tell them you are very excited about the opportunity, and are expecting base salary in the range of $xxx.. tell them you’re looking at the long term with them, you’ll bring value, your skills and experience to your organization.
Are they offering you a sign on - you can negotiate there as well..

I just went through this. After presenting me with the offer, I came back and said I was really hoping to be at xxx, is there anything we can do with signon, base, bonus, or RSUs to make me feel more comfortable? They came back with a “firm” offer with 50k more RSUs which was right between my initial offer and what I asked for.

really showcase ur strengths and why u think u deserve a higher offer (i like talking abt my past experiences and how they’ll help me with my current position). look into avergae salary on google. ik they’re usually a little inflated but it’s ok still use that inflated number to negotiate. talk abt location. is it a high cost of living? is it a higher cost of living than ur current city?
