I think coming in over asking is a sign they recognize your value hence them stretching over their budget although let’s be honest it’s not by much.
I would respond back and ask for a sign on bonus / relocation assistance … something like…
Thank you so much for the offer. I’m truly excited about the opportunity and sincerely appreciate that you’ve already extended an offer above the posted salary range. It speaks volumes about your confidence in me.
As I consider the logistics of relocating for the role, I wanted to ask whether the company offers any relocation assistance. If a formal relocation package isn’t available, would you be open to discussing a sign on bonus to help offset the costs associated with the move? Since relocating represents a significant upfront expense, any support in that area would make the transition much more manageable.
I’m very enthusiastic about joining the team and appreciate your consideration. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Agree with the approach. I would be hesitant to ask for a salary increase, but it’s very fair to explore all benefit offerings such as relo or sign-on
Ask for nothing.exceptcif if they help with relocation costs then Take the job. Good Luck. Best, T
