re: First Job Salary Negotiation.

Tough one.

Email probably would be best so as to allow them to deliberate without being on the spot, but may turn them off if they are a technophobe old fart that feels email correspondance is too informal a means to communicate in an job canadacy setting.


I would not expect the full 15% though. If you ask them to match, then it is obvious you like what company A offers seperate from that when you give them a chance to counter.

I would embrace that obviousness and use language that you would enjoy company A, and feel it would be a good fit for you and your career goals, but that big of a pay difference gives you pause and if they could possibly close the gap.

Say this using specifics from what you know about the company and what you learned in the interview. Not just cliched general crap.
