I've never negotiated for a salary before, and I would really appreciate any advice I can get.
I'm currently SDEIII at Expedia, TC ~170k. I've been interviewing recently, and have acquired an offer from a company similar in size/relevance that sounds like an interesting opportunity to me. They offered 190 TC, with around the same salary, but far better RSUs, however it is SDEII at a company that also has SDEIII before senior, so it's kind of a down level. I think I did poorly on the design interview, and that's why I didn't get an SDEIII offer. The recruiter is also trying to tell me I have to accept by this coming Friday which is very short notice (Offer was received this past Monday or Tuesday I think). I still have a few more interviews coming up, and a few other companies I have interviewed with that I'm hoping to hear from.
I'm a little concerned about the down level, but it does seem like a good fit for me. I've heard you should always negotiate your offer, but I really have no idea how to. Should I ask for like 5k more salary? Am I aiming to high or low? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I don't want to name the company because I feel I've already given quite a bit of identifiable information.

I bring this up because it's a major factor in interviewing. If I'm right, your best bet may be to work on those presentation skills and then go interview at a bunch of companies to have leverage and be able to have confidence through negotiations.
Mind you, I lack context, so it may all be justified and all my gleanings may be way off.
