Questions
Is it rude to negotiate a job offer?
No. Many employers expect some negotiation, especially for experienced hires. A polite, specific request based on evidence is professional, and the worst likely answer is that the offer stays the same.
How much more should I ask for?
Base it on research for similar roles in your location and on what you bring. Ask for a specific figure you can explain, rather than a vague request for more.
What if they cannot raise the base pay?
Ask about other parts of the offer, such as a signing bonus, an earlier pay review, extra leave, remote work or a training budget.
Is anything I type stored?
No. The email is written in your browser and nothing is sent or saved.
