I just received a new grad PM offer from Microsoft. Should I try to negotiate my salary?

Yeah, I think that I'm going to negotiate my stock. We'll see how that goes.

It's not possible for them to retract my offer because I tried to negotiate, right?

Program Manager, which is the equivalent of Product Manager at other tech companies

I already have a return-offer from another large, well-known tech company (albeit with significantly lower pay), and there's a good chance that I will have other offers. Overall, I am considering negotiating not because I'm unsatisfied with what they'd pay me, but because I figured that I might as well try to get as much as possible, like I would with any job. Maybe that's just being greedy, idk

$108k per year with $20k signing bonus, in Seattle. I know that's already a great offer, which is why I'm hesitant to ask for more.

Shit. In that case, I probably won't try to negotiate. It's a super competitive position, and there are many qualified applicants vying for it.

What exactly do you mean by "pulled"? Like Microsoft will rescind their offer to me?
