When they made me the offer I told them I needed more for family reasons and got a 10% more over the whole package.
So... it depends on industry, market situation, and your background and outside options.
In short: NEGOTIATE.

This debate could go on forever! Of course negotiate.......... I think the point is that you need a point of reference and that is based on the industry norms. Your HR dept would never negotiate 'willy nilly' so that you land up with a host of people doing the same job producing similar output all at completely different costs to company. Many employers will just walk away currently when unrealistic negotiations are entered into.
