Negotiating Offer for First Year Analyst

Great! So I just got an offer at a top consultancy.

So how do you approach negotiating the offer? I've heard that the annual salary is non-negotiable, but the signing bonus is. Also, does this bonus include relocation? Is there a maximum amount? or a good range to negotiate in between?

So, how should I approach the negotiation? or should I flat out not even think about it?

Additionally, what should I think about/ask when reviewing the offer? For current consultants, is there something you recommend I ask or request?

some details:
base = 65,000
bonus = 10,000
I will be working in the same city that my university is in.

Thanks to all!

How a SA SHOULD live it up in the Big Apple

So, I got the summer analyst position at a BB, secured my Midtown apartment, passed all background checks, and finished my final exams. I'll be on the beaches in a few days before I head up to NY, planning what to do...

What are some MUST DO, Maybe do, and DEFINTELY DON'T DO's for a first time SA in NYC?

What is your favorite movie that in someway relates to Wall Street?

Some of the top 3 (I presume):

Wall Street (of course)
American Psycho
Boiler Room

But what are some other good ones worth watching?

PS: Wall Street sequel is in the works, under the title: "Money Never Sleeps"

GS Currency Ops

If anyone can post anything on Currency Ops, I'd appreciate it. What type of work, hours, etc. I'm thinking it's mainly FX Trading. Also, do most ops at GS work at 30 Hudson, across the river? How is it in this building?

-Thanks!

(btw, I'll be a summer analyst in currency ops)
