Re: URGENT!! Help with salary negotiation
That means that they really like you :) congrdulations ... if you really feel that it is lower than the market value then go ahead and ask for bit more. Otherwise just go ahead and accept the offer.
There is a middle ground as well. You can setup a call with HR and tell them that it is lower than what are expecting but you are excited about the company and the job and would like to accept the offer, provided they can give you a 3% raise after the 90 day probation period. This is a fair deal and it allows the company to see you in action before they go further.
If you like this job and company, I would say go ahead and take it without any more negotiations. Money is not the only aspect of the job, long term growth, learning, happiness, etc. are all equally important. You can always ask for more money in the middle of the year if you want, there are no set rules :)
