6. Opening move/other info:
Tell that I have an offer from another prestigious corporation, but I like their company and would really like to work there. Tell that I want to reach the most beneficial agreement for both sides. Ask what issues are the most important for them, then see if any of them are not important to me so that I can use them as negotiation points. Stress what is really important to me and see if they are willing to yield on any of them. Agree on easy points first and then fight for the harder ones. Do post settlement settlement.
