| May 27, 2015 at 21:33 | comment | added | dalawh | @DJClayworth Thanks for the help. I know there is no magic spell for doing these type of things, but I just want to make sure I don't say the wrong things or go too far. | |

| May 27, 2015 at 21:32 | comment | added | dalawh | @keshlam I am pretty willing at this point. As much as I don't want to lose them, I really want that extra amount. | |

rephrasing

| May 27, 2015 at 21:27 | comment | added | DJClayworth | Then this is really simple. You say "I will accept your offer if you add a signing bonus of $X". There is no magic spell for doing these things. | |
| May 27, 2015 at 21:26 | comment | added | keshlam | How willing are you to risk that they decide you're too much trouble and/or too expensive and hire the other guy? Meeting halfway is a fairly reasonable outcome, especially since it is salary and the difference accumulates over time. But if you really can't accept that second offer, assume that you're walking away. | |
| May 27, 2015 at 21:25 | comment | added | dalawh | @DJClayworth I did not agree yet. Sorry for the poor choice of words. | |
| May 27, 2015 at 21:24 | comment | added | DJClayworth | Myles asked the important question - did you agree to the 'halfway' offer or not? | |
| May 27, 2015 at 21:23 | comment | added | dalawh | @Myles How would you suggest I phrase the ongoing negotiation? | |
| May 27, 2015 at 21:23 | comment | added | dalawh | @enderland They responded with an offer that was half of what I proposed in my counteroffer. It was by email, but does that matter? | |
| May 27, 2015 at 21:20 | comment | added | Myles | Did you agree to the meeting halfway? If not you are still in negotiations, so just make a counter to their counter offer. If you are getting cold feet after the fact, you need to stand by the agreements that you made. | |

| May 27, 2015 at 20:57 | comment | added | enderland | How did they "ended up meeting me half way" work? Was it just an email response with a new offer? Or was it in person? etc | |
