After months of job search agony, you might have an urge to immediately accept any offer you receive. But before you give a final answer, take time to learn a little more about what the company has to offer. Remember, now your potential employer is trying to sell you, and that means you can ask important questions about benefits and compensation that may have seemed pushy or self-serving during the interview process.

Now, I should mention upfront that not every applicant will have the power to negotiate the benefits below—your experience and expertise will strongly influence how much bargaining power you have. A senior hire may find that almost all contract points are negotiable, whereas a recent college grad will have less power to change the package.
