Ugh, what a joke

I got the job I interviewed for last week. Except, it pays less than the one I have now. I have to run the numbers but I am pretty sure I won't take it even though I really want it. My income right now it pretty low so going lower is a joke. I also told them I was going through a divorce and spousal maintenance was a big issue. If I take something that pays less, it could (and will) be used against me.

I'll see with them if they can keep my salary the same at least. If not, I plan to let them now I really want the job but I'll have to look for something else in the meantime. Ugh, I hate to be in this situation.

  • Maybe you'll be able to bargain for a higher salary.

  • I am sorry that the salary is not ideal but at least you are awsome enough that they want to hire you. Hopefully, they will be open to the idea of offering you more money.

  • Congrats on the offer! Hopefully if you signal your high level of interest but honest need to make at least an equal amount, they'll be open to negotiation.

  • Congrats on getting picked!

    Fingers crossed that they can offer you at least the same salary you're getting now, if not more. 

  • I'm with Avion22, negiotiate for a higher salary. The worst that happens is they say no and you had planned to turn it down anyways, so you should go for it anyways! Good luck!

  • Aw, that sucks, I'm sorry.  But at least you know that they like you and you are in demand, so hopefully that counts for something at the negotiating table (or elsewhere if you decide to look at other companies).
