Negotiation is hard. I'm currently in the process for an offer I'm excited to accept. Everyone I've spoken with has encouraged me to counter and ask for the things that matter to me. But this whole process is uncomfortable, especially since it's my first dev role.

So, I would love to hear your negotiation stories.

Have you ever regretted not negotiating more? Have you had to turn away a role you loved? Have you seen a major bump in compensation as a result?
