Okay, so you apply for a full-time permanent position with a company. The CEO asks what salary range you are seeking and you say, for example, between 65k and 70k per year. They come back with an offer that is exactly 65k per year. Since you were asking for a range between 65 and 70, and they gave you the barebone or bottomline number out of that range, do you negotiate now? You want the job. It's a good company. You have a great title. But the salary is low. How do you go about negotiating that with the CEO? Is the company expecting you to all and negotiate or are they simply hoping you bite the bullet and go for the least amount? You want more money but not sure how to ask for them to reconsider the salary while, at the same time, keep you as the prime candidate for the job. In other words, you don't want them to rule you out because you tried to ask for more money or complained that they did not follow the range you asked for. I'm terrible at this. Could use advice.
