There are a couple of pretty long, extensive threads on negotiating salary/benefit/bonus stuff when getting a new job. I had one a couple of years ago, and linked to a couple of others in my first post in that one.

Also, 2 weeks of vacation seems pretty standard. I've never worked anywhere that didn't start you off with 2 weeks of vacation. My current company started me off with 4 weeks of vaca plus a little over 2 weeks of holiday and personal time not including sick time.

You might want to check out my previous thread, I think there's some really good info in it.
