Many of you know I lost my job about 2 months ago. (Definitely a blessing in disguise because our house is almost finished and I got so much wedding stuff done, I won't be rushed over the next 2 weeks.) Anyway, I received an offer this week and it was less than what I was making before. Significantly less and I was really disappointed. I explained to them that at my last job I was making X and hope their offer is negotiable. They came back this morning and offered an extra $5k, still $7500 less than what I was making. If they go up another $5k, I would accept it. How do I go about negotiating that aspect? They want me to join the company and I want to. What should I say back? Should I say if you can make the offer another $5k, I will sign off on the agreement? HELP!!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!
They accepted what I proposed! I'm so happy! YAY! I have a job again!
Thank you everyone for your advice!
