Is it dumb to negotiate an offer you already like? It's 18k more than I make now but still low compared to the range they posted. I don't want to mess this up but I also don't want to leave money on the table. How should I play this.

If you don't ask, the answer will never be yes. The trick is to ask in a way that doesn't come off as unreasonable.

Given that it's in retail, 18k seems like it would be a pretty big bump. Putting the offer at risk seems inadvisable. Companies will rescind offers if it appears someone is being unserious, so trying to negotiate more may be a gamble.

I would ask them for more. What is the worst they can say to you than no? If you feel like you deserve more money than go for it. The fact that they gave you lower than range they posted is interesting.

Honestly, I would normally say always negotiate, but in this economy I would take the $18k increase!

It depends on whether you're willing to risk the offer. I would say that's a decent amount and to accept it. But ultimately that's up to you and your bank account!
