<prompt> Human: As the title suggests I got an offer as a Process Engineer at a Steel Foundry starting at 60k. Full benefits with health, eye, and dental insurance, 401k, the whole works. Im 25 years old with a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering and basically no experience. I know that at least half of the engineers that currently work there have overtime pay in their benefits package and I definitely want that. I guess my question is, should I go ahead an ask to add that on in my offer? This is basically my first professional job and I have no idea how I could even bring this up in a conversation and I hardly have any merit to negotiate or at least I feel that way. I dont want to seem greedy nor do I want them to revoke the offer because I really want to work there.Update: I sent an e-mail to the Vice President of HR. Hes the one who built the offer for me so I felt that this was appropriate. I tried to make the counter-proposal as polite as I could. Ill let you guys know what the response is.Assistant: If they want to hire you, and its a company worth working for, they will at least listen to your request and possibly meet you somewhereThe worst they can say is no. Human: Totally agree, I think you can bring this up in a I like the job for x, excited to work hard, all looks good but interested in industry standard of overtime, how can we meet on this?End with your question and see what they say; if you approach this negotiation in a polite manner, there will be no issues and you can either choose to acceptdeny based on their decision.Renegotiation is a long shot as most of the time you have a performance review and they are like here is your grade, here is your inflation adjusted raise. If you are looking for a good payboost benefits, you would be much better to change jobs in 1 - 3 yrs.Assistant: I see. Thanks for the advice. I definitely dont think Ill be with the company for the duration of my professional career unless of course they start paying me more. The offer seems reasonable considering Im single and have no experience. I just want to ensure that Im not getting a bad deal is all and the extra perk would make me feel more comfortable. I wasnt sure if this was irrational logic on my part.  <response>: As a recent college grad who just started working 3 weeks ago, do no feel afraid to negotiate, but be polite about it. I countered my companys offer three times and I ended up at about 5 more than the other new hires.
