Question

im having a second thoughts on an job offer, but i've already accept the offer and signed. is it okay to ask them to re-negotiate the offer ?? would that be rude ??

Answer 1

Yea, it would be rude to try and re-negotiate the offer. I've learned that when negotiating salary, normally the prospective employer will bring it up either in the middle or towards the end of the interview. To get a feel for how much you expect to make verse how much they plan or is willing to offer for the position. I have no idea how you completed your interview with out ever discussing salary. Because I never accept a job with out knowing how much the job pays. That's important because that's the determining factor for your quality of life while employed with the company.

Included with your offer letter should have been the salary requirements stating how the salary you accepted to come and work for the company (USD or US dollars) annually. You should have brought it up then and there and discussed it before signing anything. But, since you didn't, it’s a little too late, you're on board now, and they're expecting you to report for duty. I have no idea how you could negotiate yourself out of a contract, but I think you may have to suck it up with this one, let it ride for at least 6 months, and find employment that will pay you what you are expecting to make for your current living conditions and financial obligations.

Give the job a chance, it may not be what you expect to make annually, but you may end up liking the job enough to stay. And look at it this way, you work hard enough you may end up getting a raise or a promotion. Don't let money be the “know all end all” of a job. Because I've known people to get paid the big bucks, and hate their job with a passion. Money isn’t everything if you’re not happy with your current work conditions.

Answer 2

I can imagine several scenarios where you would want to, but none of them justify it. It's really extremely unprofessional. Even if they offered way less than normal and you just found out, as a professional, it was still up to you to know beforehand what was normal.

The time to negotiate was before accepting the offer. Now you'd be effectively re-negotiating your qualification for the job itself, as well.

Answer 3

Rude? No. Unprofessional? Definitely. You signed the offer, you need to go with that or turn it down. The reason for the letter is for your acceptance prior to taking the position. If you don't want the job based on the money now, you need to back out. Be polite, but don't burn your bridges. No company wants to shell out the expense for taking on a new employee to have them quit a few weeks later.

Answer 4

It would be unrealistic, and unreasonable. You wouldn't be likely to succeed, and would start off on a very bad foot by giving them a bad impression of you.

The time to negotiate salary, or anything else, is BEFORE accepting the offer.

Answer 5

you should ask for a strengthen after some months. it would be efficient in case you should instruct you're nicely well worth the greater money. in the event that they gained't supply you a strengthen a minimum of you will have further journey on your resume. stable luck.

Answer 6

the company has no reason to further discuss it with you - you have accepted the offer - it will only make you look bad right from the start if you bring it up or take it as is or don't take it at all

Answer 7

This dillema is called "shooting yourself in the foot!" Unfortunately, even if you mentioned it to your manager/personnel....they wouldn't do anything about it because their concern is that you accepted their initial offer...case closed.

Answer 8

Very rude.

Answer 9

Wouldn't be rude if you did it with me.

I would just say, sorry don't need you, bye.
