Always ask for more and always try to sell it as a win-win thing to keep you motivated and untempted by "less interesting roles" which pay more.

Always ask how often the company does salary reviews. They'll not want to say "never" and anything they say you can note and use as a means to ask for a higher salary in the future.

In general, in this market, I'd argue it's worth taking the job either way. 5-10% extra pay isn't worth another 2-3 months of unemployment. But that's a calculus you as an individual will need to make depending on your confidence of finding something else and your own financial security.

> how often the company does salary reviews

result of salary review can be no raise, so this might be not very useful

> 5-10% extra pay isn't worth another 2-3 months of unemployment

imho it's not worth the risk, unless your base makes that 10% big enough to outweight the risks :)
