<prompt> Human: I received a job offer which pays a little bit higher than my current job, but it is in another city 6h trip. I dont pay rent now, but Ill need to pay if I accept the offer, and it will constitute something like 13 of the total salary.I can live there without problems with that salary, and I can pay for the relocation costs which the company doesnt help with, like hotel expenses for the first days while I search for an apartment, and to buy basic stuff like refrigerator, stove, etc.Something to consider is that they asked me for the expected salary, and I answered the same as I currently earn. The interviewer seemed to me a little bit concerned about that and asked me to review thoroughly the cost of life there, as it is a bit higher compared to other cities. That, paired with the fact the they later offered me an almost equivalent salary, maybe they are open for a negotiation.I know that I should have researched more about the costs and the salaries before the interview, so that is a lesson learned.So, should I ask for a higher salary? I dont want to risk losing this opportunity, as it is like a dream job to me.x200B;TL;DR: got a job offer with almost same salary, and I know I can live with that amount, but the company seemed open for negotiation. Should I ask for a higher salary?  <response>: You probably made a mistake with your original ask, yeah. Figure out how much you would need to make to functionally increase your income, with paying rent, higher COL, etc., and be prepared to walk away from anything less. Worst case scenario, youll ask for the right amount the first time, next time.
