XP and Update: Got an offer

So...I actually did try and negotiate, haha! I went for more PTO and a slight salary increase due to the increased medical premiums.

She told me that the benefits are non-negotiable but she would check regarding the salary increase. She mentioned that the salary offer was at the end high (which is the truth, I looked on Glassdoor.com) so she didn't know if it would fly.

The end result? No dice on any of it. But I accepted anyway and I am happy that I tried to negotiate. After all it is a 21k pay increase!!!! I start 1/9 Party!!!

Thanks for all the advice!

  • Congrats. I feel like at least you tried and you know you tried.  So there's no doubt lingering in your mind that you could have gotten more vacation days or something. 
  • Congratulations!

  • AWESOME news!    And, it sounds like you're completely happy with everything, which ultimately is the most important thing!

    At least you will never wonder about what might have happened if you'd tried to negotiate!

    Good luck with the new gig!
