Finally got the offer, and genuinely don't know if I was low balled

I don't care that much for the number and don't want to be like the guy that got his offer rescinded. I am considering giving a single counter and taking what they provide if they say no. I am very grateful and happy with having got the job, so it is no big deal. There are other factors such as expectations of performance, and job duties that come into play - I researched and compared them to similar roles with different names at smaller credit unions and larger banks like BOA.

Should I just take what I have and negotiate based on performance in the future? A good deal of this is wanting to negotiate and advocate for myself.

Edit:I decided its a fair wage...

you didnt give any specifics, again, so any feedback you get will be a dart thrown at the wall. You made the thread below yesterday and then renamed it and got rid of your initial question, this forum is not just for you, people read it and get something out of it so it is poor form to edit something once you got what you came for.

In your position, negotiating for a junior "assistant" role when you seem to not have a grasp on accurate figures and not coming from the same position else where would be poor form, they could see right away that you have no leverage and are just throwing out a wild ass guess to see what sticks, that will not get things started on the right foot... dont edit this thread.
