I heard the advice recently that it's better to ask for a specific number rather than a rounded one (e.g., 65,225 instead of 65,000) since it can make you seem more serious, as if you really put a lot of research into that specific number for some reason. I like this strategy because while it may not work any miracles, I can't see how it'd ever hurt you.

I was just offered a job and I asked for 10k over their initial offer, and I ended up with 6k more. I probably would have been too scared to ask/not even thought to ask if it weren't for this thread, so thanks!
