FAQ
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.
A counter offer is your response to the hiring company's original salary offer. When you make a counter offer, you're asking the company to reconsider its initial offer and bump the number. For example, if a company offers you a starting salary of $80,000, you might counter that with $85,000 or $90,000.
Your counter offer Clearly state the terms you would like to negotiate. Be specific about your desired changes and provide a persuasive justification for your counter offer. Use market research, industry standards, or your qualifications to support your request.
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.
Just say that you're excited for the offer and ask if there's anything they can do to bump up the salary. Don't give a specific number unless you absolutely have to. There's always wiggle room in the first offer because they expect you to negotiate. Don't listen to the people saying it's too late now.

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.
Start by saying that you're very interested in the job, so your hesitancy isn't interpreted as lack of interest. Then politely mention that there's a gap between what they offered and what you were hoping for, and you'd like to understand how the employer arrived at their number.
