Was fortunate enough to get a job offer at a large corporation. I've been told usually doesn't hurt to try to ask some more, despite current economic situation. I currently have no job and no competing offers. How would I go about asking for more from here?
Recruiter said interview feedback was excellent. I was planning to give hard numbers (no ranges) of my expectations, citing research I've done for comparable roles, my skills/experiences, and interview performance. My understanding is that I should start high and they might come back with an in between offer. Anything else I should consider?
Offer TC: 120k

Good luck!
For real, from their perspective they’re trying to sell you at this point. Even if they don’t come up they want you to have a good experience or decide to join in spite of a salary below your expectations
If the recruiter's response doesn't sound very positive after your quote, you can tell them you'll be thrilled if the TC can be raised but you will be happy with the current offer.
