I read a lot of stories on this subreddit about negotiating salaries and getting 20%+ when hopping companies/having multiple offers.
I feel like my case is a little different where I've been a contractor for a few years and finally had a position open up that I was able to fill. I feel they offered me a fair wage (20K more a year +401k match, benefits etc.) and it's a higher salary than the median for this job title in the area.
I applied for other jobs as well but for my time scale none got back to me by the time I received this offer, if I'd had multiple offers perhaps I may have more leverage to negotiate.
I am grateful I finally have stable employment in my field and can provide for my family, it's a big relief to me after being in limbo for so long.
