I just got an offer for $105K.Its in the range I gave early on but now I am looking closer at the benefits. Health insurance costs are $6K more per year and the bonus is discretionary instead of guaranteed. Is it too late to go back and ask for more base or did I box myself in by naming a number?

When they ask you for a salary range, always stipulate that you will consider the entire compensation package, including bonus and fringe benefits. But imo it’s never too late to tell them their comp doesn’t measure up. If they like you and have wiggle room, they’ll raise the offer. What salary number would you accept?

Upon seeing the full comp package, I would like to consider xyz? I’d say something like that. Important to consider everything. The base is just one small part of it. Also, be open to whether they are flexible on benefits.

I agree with Actuary 1—it’s never too late to ask for more. You need to consider all the benefits and see if the full package works for you. They’ll let you know if they can’t go any higher, and then you can make your decision from there.

I would since that wasn’t explained but there no guarantee they will change it now that the offer has been accepted.

If not, how do I go about it?
