What should I do after receiving a job offer?

Salary Negotiation Delay

Tell the employer that you're very interested in the job, but will need some time to consider the offer. You should take at least one day to consider the offer, but several days would be ideal. Taking a day or less to respond will not allow you ample time to evaluate the necessary factors for developing a counteroffer, and it will also imply eagerness on your part, thereby weakening your bargaining power.
