to send this to my prospective employer

[meandyouohyeah]

Just accepted a job but trying to negotiate the pay. It's my first time dong this so please steer me in the right direction MN!

or how would you better word it? Thanks in advance!

Dear Manager,

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me on day, I hope you had a lovely Christmas.

Please feel free to forward this email to and/or copy in Senior Manager.

I would be very happy to join business commencing from date as discussed. However re: salary, upon further calculations from the hourly wage to net monthly salary I do feel I would require more than originally proposed.

Upon meeting with HR manager I was told the role would be a starting salary of £10 per hour and from my industry knowledge I believe the current value for someone with my skillset and experience in a similar standard of venue is around £12-14 per hour. I would be willing to accept a lower salary than what I have been used to previously as do very much like company as a company and what you can provide in terms of a long term career in industry. However, it would be silly for me to take a position on considerably less money than what I know I can earn in many other business of this standing. Is there any way we could come to a more mutually beneficial agreement?

Please do let me know your thoughts.

Kind Regards,
MeandYou

oooppps ah I can see the confusion then, didn't realise I had put that. I have been offered it, not accepted. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks so much bobby and for your advice too!

You've received a job offer, so now is exactly the right time to negotiate over pay and conditions. Once you think you have obtained their best possible terms, you decide whether to accept.

Your brief EM must include your current salary, plus desired salary, which should be at the top of the industry pay scale, to allow room for negotiation.
If they switch to phoning, then you phone too.
