Job Counter Offer Etiquette

I'd prolly drop it. If the starting at another is 75 and you were offered 5 less than that and 2 less than your desired one, that probably means they're not willing to judge and would lol if you tried to push it further.

budge* not judge

i guess you're right. i think ill counter by asking for a sign-on bonus and 71,000. given that this position is for contract negotiations, i think its pretty expected that i negotiate.

where are you getting that salary data

Don't do it.

Never step over dollars to save pennies.

You're talking about a few extra bucks a year and it's just gonna piss them off and show them you are the kind of guy to split hairs.

Do the job, do well, be happy. If there is a disparity after year one, then that would be the time to negotiate a new wage.

I'm typically on the side of the person not the business, but you asked for a number and they gave you nearly exactly what you asked for.

Why aren't you considering the offers from the two offering $75k? Wouldn't it make more sense to go back to those instead of the original offer?

>>1905787
You can do this only if you have another offer and a current job.

I bargained from 115 + 5 to 120 + 7.5

Midsize and up companies don't care that much about a few thousand here or there.

In your case, you probably won't be getting it if you push your luck. Next time request 80

>>1905787
You fucked up. Their counter offer was fair and you bargained too low. You can stand your ground on your offer if you are okay with maybe not getting the job or you can bargain benefit packages and company benefits like cars or phones. Obviously you arent confident in how much you are worth to the company.

Don't counter, just accept and do a good job on your probation, get a good rating and then follow it through with your yearly assessment, then the increase will eventually follow.

This is usually a strategy to boost morale and motivation on the new hire to exceed expectations. Focus on outperforming.

You don't counter on a job offer unless you have serious backing.

Spoken like a true cuck.

This company is my 1st choice for a lot of non-benefit related reasons.
>>1906154
Yeah, I get that now. I undervalued myself in a competitive market. Should've asked for 80. I'll ask for other benefits that arn't salary.
