If you are desperate for a job you probably shouldn't be negotiating too hard.

If your downside is protected and you've got options, you're a fool if you're not negotiating.

If they are already offering double your current salary, should you risk it to ask for more? Of course you can negotiate, but if you lose that it is a big deal. It's an honest question, I found myself in that situation.

If your counterparty knows you are desperate. Mostly perception matters.
