Have an offer at BAH, and if previous experience tells me anything I should ask for more/negotiate. Always wonder though, does the direct team I am working with (like managers, job lead, etc) make calls or is it all just VPs etc and I shouldn't concern making bad impressions

Was an HM there a few years back. Always ask for more; the worst they can say is no. The HM/JL can try to negotiate with VP/Prin (who owns the contract vehicle) to make a decision if possible. Never a bad impression as we all need to be out for ourselves, but remember you may be competitive with someone asking for less.

I negotiated and they didn’t budge on salary but gave me a signing bonus. That was when the market was hot though

I got an offer, but it seems less than I expected based on the market research they only slightly budged on their lowball offer to still a pretty lowball offer.
