Asking for more money and sign on bonus

I have been given a job offer and the salary is low. There is no sign on bonus. I have don’t research and my offer is what is online. I also noticed that all of the people in LinkedIn who have the job currently do NOT have a masters degree and I do. I have an MBA and client facing experience How should I go about negotiating for more than $58k as I have a masters they will never have to pay for in the future?

Just ask? More compelling if you can get a competing offer obviously. Also, unless your MBA is from a top school (Harvard, Stanford, Wharton), it's a useless piece of paper.

How would you go about presenting a competing offer? Yeah it’s not it’s from a small college in CT. Quinnipiac.

I am in the process of interviewing at better companies such as IBM and Deloitte but that may take a while.
