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.
A counteroffer refers to the response given to an initial offer, making it obvious that the original offer was rejected. It gives three options to the original offer—accept the counteroffer, reject the counteroffer, or make another 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.

I am delighted to accept your offer and look forward to commencing work with your company from {Date}. As we discussed previously, my annual salary will be {salary} and health and insurance benefits will be provided for me and my family from the second month onwards.

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.
