DP got a job offer this morning!!! He's been looking for several months, and this is a great job for him. We're excited (and, whoa, holy work to do to move to the city where said job is!).
During the lengthy interview process, a certain salary was mentioned, but the actual offer is a couple thousand under that number. The job has no benefits.
DP is trying to come up with a way to say, "Awesome. Thanks for the offer. Please give me 3000$ more." He's going to take the job either way, and I know 3000$ isn't a huge amount when you factor in taxes, but, money is money!
How do you go about making this sort of negotiation? Everything is being carried out in writing. Ideas?
