FAQ
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.
I am very grateful for the opportunity, and delighted to be joining the company. As discussed over the phone, my starting salary will be Agreed starting salary, with percentage commission, as well as days annual leave, and private health insurance. I will be able to start work on Start date.
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.
Here's an example for accepting a counteroffer: Dear Employer's Name, I want to express my gratitude for presenting a counteroffer and for the time you invested in negotiating the terms. After careful consideration, I've decided to accept your offer.
I'm writing in response to your requested salary upgrade. After carefully considering your proposed terms, we've decided to accept your counter offer. We're excited to have you on the team and hope our new compensation terms motivate you to come work with our company.
You can say something like, ``I wanted to be transparent and let you know that my current employer has made a counteroffer. However, I am still very interested in joining your company.'' Request your ideal package (eg, $115K + 20%) confidently, while also stating that you are flexible based on their constraints.
Accepting a counteroffer can lead to a sense of mistrust, making it challenging to rebuild a positive working relationship. Your loyalty could come into question, potentially affecting future assignments and promotions.
A counter offer rejects the original offer, and the initial offer cannot be accepted after a counter offer is made. The party who made the original offer now becomes the offeree and can either accept the counter offer or reject it by making another counter offer or terminating negotiations altogether.
The truth is it is very rare that a counter-offer is successful in the long term. It is probable that even after accepting an appealing counter-offer, within 6-12 months your initial reasons for leaving will likely resurface and you will be faced with beginning the job search process all over again.
