I have a meeting Friday to go over my contract offer. Would this be considered the negotiation and if so, what are some things besides salary that I should try for in terms of perks and benefits?

Is this the very first time they are going to reveal the numbers? If so, show your excitement in receiving the offer letter but on the numbers itself, ask them if you could get some time to think about it and let them know that you will get back to them soon. Once the conversation is ended, think/research/talk to other people to make sure if the initial numbers that the company has offered actually make sense to you. Also, it is now time to give them ‘your’ numbers and negotiate accordingly. Hope it helps!

They revealed the number and signing bonus on Friday via a written offer, along with their health plan and 401k. I would take the offer right now, but I’m just seeing what else I should be on the lookout for.

Yes, that would be when you would negotiate ..I would ask for Signing bonus. Depending on the firm the benefits package portion like PTO, 401k contribution, health benefits are pretty set but you can always try. What do you have to lose except them saying no we are firm on those things
