You can use the following steps as guidance when countering a job offer to negotiate your compensation: Ask for time to make your decision. Conduct research on industry compensation. Assess your qualifications and experience. Review and evaluate the initial offer. Determine your counteroffer value. Submit your counteroffer.
Make a counter-offer: “Thank you so much for the offer, I'm really interested in joining the team. I do have a concern regarding the starting salary, however. Based on my understanding of the market value for the position, and my skill set I would expect my compensation to be in the range of $xx to $xx.
Think of this offer as an opener, keeping in mind that the employer has likely suggested a low figure anticipating negotiation. At this point, you might say something like: "I'm very excited about the position and know that I'd be the right fit for the team. I'm also excited about your offer.
Just say you appreciate the interest in the counter offer but the decision has been made and you've accepted the offer. No need to disclose company name or offer if you don't want to.
For example, "Corrigan Media's offer of $45,000 is generous, but I would like to counter with a salary of $52,000, which is the national average salary for graphic designers." Conclude the letter: Repeat your excitement to work with the company and why your counteroffer is appropriate.
Negotiating is a very common during contractual offers. When a party responds to an offer proposing something different, that is a counteroffer. With a counteroffer, the original offeror has the responsibility of accepting, declining, or making another counteroffer.
Just say you appreciate the interest in the counter offer but the decision has been made and you've accepted the offer. No need to disclose company name or offer if you don't want to.
I would like to propose a counter offer of Your Counter Offer Salary, which falls within the average salary range for this position in State. I want to emphasize my strong interest in the job and my genuine excitement about the opportunity to work with the talented team at Company, and I'm open to negotiating.
If you're unhappy with your workload, stagnating from a lack of growth opportunities, or feeling unappreciated, a counteroffer isn't going to fix these problems. In fact, accepting a counteroffer can actually make them worse.
A counteroffer functions as both a rejection of an offer to enter into a contract, as well as a new offer that materially changes the terms of the original offer. Because a counteroffer serves as a rejection, it completely voids the original offer. Thus, the original offer can no longer be accepted.
