As long as we are talking salaries

If you are offered a salary and the recruiter says this was as high as they could go or there is not room to negotiate do you try anyway?

I'd try for more vacation/PTO.

No, they have probably given you their best offer if they are a staffing recruiter. Unless you have some specialized skill set preventing them from just picking someone else.

I have picked the 2nd runner candidate based on this very reason several times.

Yes, because mine did budge.

I try to negotiate other things - trainings, 6 month reveiw/raise, extra PTO

Only if I had a really compelling reason why I deserved more--like higher offer from a competitor for a similar position.
