Hi! Fellow TPM members ... I've made it up to interview number 5! They HAVE to make an offer soon, don't they?

So everyone wants more money, what else is new. On the other hand, having been unemployed the last 28 months, other than a four month contract, I'm not going to be too demanding.

But I AM curious what non-salary demands people have been able to obtain frrom employers. If I'm going to accept a tolerable salary..... and it IS tolerable, though not superb ... how far should I go in demanding training, and other additional benefits?
