I recently got a new job and they gave me more than I expected so I didn’t negotiate at all. Should I still have negotiated for more?

I'm sure most people in this platform are going to say, yes, always negotiate. I disagree. If you know your market value, if you've done your research, if you're happy with the offer, then accept it. Don't play goofy games. If it's lower than you were expecting, then negotiate. If you're happy with the offer, then accept it, be happy about it, and don't dwell on what you could have gotten if you'd negotiated. There's more to a job than just the money and no one can tell you if you should be satisfied except yourself.

With the way how inflation is looking.... How much you're making is either priority 1 or 2

Yes. Always consider the initial offer the floor, they expect you to negotiate.

I recently accepted a position with a new org.

Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?
