I get "hey is Doug there" to which I respond no, who is Doug. To which they respond "leave a message for Doug"

Well they offered me the job and I countered that I would like to see more or a signing bonus to help with moving expenses. So we shall see what happens tomorrow. It is more of a lateral move as far as pay but has potential for future growth. Now I am maxed out so it would be a good move in that regard. Or is anyone here looking for a controls engineer? Lots of Allen Bradley experience.
How much have you bargained for when moving to a new position/job?
-
Ive never asked for more money than the position was advertised for. it might be a loss on my end but I really dont haggle numbers on anything. If a glass sea turtle in mexico, 1993 camry on craigslist, brand new car at the dealership etc seems to be a fair deal to me, I pay asking price and go on my way.
Maybe i suck at life

I don't think that means you suck at life.
I'm sure you also do plenty of research before your sea turtle, Camry, new car, etc purchases and know that what's fair is fair.
Karma also comes back to bite you if you "act a fool" when haggling......

I have bargained every promotion and lateral move I have ever had and a couple merrit raises. There is usually room somewhere for you to get something especially if you were sought out for the position. Relo costs are usually more easily negotiated than salary because its a one time payment usually and the total relo price should be negotiated post-tax. Research the market ypur moving to and if its an increase in cost of living then try to negotiate that increase into a salary anf sell it as a hardship if you take the position. This is assuming benefits are all the same. You may find that there is nothing more they can give you but a chance at an increase/ptomotion later on and if thats the case then ask for a timeline.
Negotiating a guaranteed review after 6 months with an opportunity for a merrit raise is another angle you can try. Thats more of a win-win situation and your betting on yourself then.
one thing I always keep in mind when promises are made though... the guy making them isn't guaranteed to be there to follow through when the time comes. Get a signed offer letter.
