HELP ASAP pls!!
I negotiated an offer as I’ll be moving out and saving money living at home but she told me she’d get back to me on the number. I think what I asked for was reasonable with the moving and all but what if she says no. I still really want this job even if it’s the lower salary. It seems many people just say no bc they think they’re worth more but I just want to take this job I hate my current one.

Don’t panic - what’s the worst that happens? They come back and say they can’t up the offer. You will still have an option. Don’t reach out until the recruiter comes back to you, as you don’t want to sound desperate nor fickle minded. Congrats on the job in advance!

Its really a reasonable ask. Employers respect people who know their worth. Getting into a lower salary may just put you different territory - even responsibilities.

Don't stress. You haven't asked for crazy$$$, worst case they'll say they can't increase to 85k and offer stays at $80k.

Recruiters also know that candidates always try to negotiate, so they never throw the high-end of salary range for that job. My guess is that they accept your counter offer. Good luck!

Tell us some numbers: current comp, expected comp, offered comp…

Omg that raise is abysmal

uplifting

It’s not about your individual expenses (rent, utilities, etc.) but your value in the market place. The market is hot right now for talent so they’ll probably be okay with 85K. If the recruiter says no just take the offer as-is if you really like it. Asking for more is an expected part of the process so totally understandable- no need to justify.

I’m worried about the risk of my current employer not wanting to negotiate.Any tips?

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team.
