Having multiple offers is helpful in negotiating from a place of confidence. But what I really mean is that one should not make a negotiation a life or death experience. You're in an in demand field, know that, understand that and even if you have no competitive offers, be willing to walk away from the offer you do have if you're not able to massage it into the kind of shape that would make you feel comfortable working for that company. Be dispassionate in the negotiation. Treat it as if you're negotiating for a friend who could either take or leave the job. The more you get invested in working for this company, the less strength and resolve you'll have in negotiating.

Good luck!
