Just wanted to thank this subreddit; I constantly see posts of people being told to value their work and to at least ask for what they want.
I was offered a low contract amount (lower than previously discussed) but explained I was worth more to the company and showed proof of their higher offer.
They tried saying I would be taking wages off other people but I stuck to my guns. Got a $5k pay increase which might not seem like much but definitely helps.
Thanks to everyone in here for sharing their experiences and advice! It helped me feel confident in negotiating.
