You aren't going to be able to negotiate significant changes or incentive bonuses or benefits to a company's standard offer for the position. Anyone who thinks differently either hasn't negotiated an individual contract or is naïve. My particular contract prohibits me from even discussing compensation with other employees which would allow me to use that information in a negotiation.
But you can test the waters and see what other places offer you. You don't need to know what Joe coworker is making since the employer is competing with other employees and not themselves .
