Negotiating elements of an MBB offer?

Hi folks! I'm shocked and delighted that I received an offer from an MBB firm yesterday as an ADC. I haven't said "yes" yet, but the firm is absolutely my top choice and I'm going to accept it.

Here's my question: Is there anything that a savvy person would know to negotiate when accepting the offer?

I understand that salary and benefits are standard. I'm so pleased by having the opportunity to work there, and the compensation will be more than I thought I'd ever make as an academic, so I'm totally happy to take whatever they'll give me. But I don't want to be naive if there are elements of the offer that I should be negotiating. For example, I'm relocating (albeit by choice)--do they offer any money to help with that? Etc. Thanks for any intel!

EDIT: Never mind. They OVERNIGHTED me an offer letter with details. And I have no idea what more I'd ask for ... damn. (Yes, this firm did offer a relocation allowance thing, for anyone curious.)

Sorry, I was trying to do the opposite of complaining! I just wanted to know if there was some negitiation conversation that all you savvy people would know to have, but about which I'm ignorant. I'd be happy if they paid me five bucks a year. I just don't want to look like a rube. :-)
