<prompt> Human: Hi Reddit,I need advice. I just got offered a position at my current company that is a huge step up from what Im doing now. I am currently hourly and would be making the jump to salary. I just did calculations on a tax calculator and I would be making less on salary than Im currently making hourly. In my hourly position, I currently do about 5-8 hours of overtime per week which I get paid at time and a half. Should I negotiate the salary to at least make as much as Im currently making now? The way the offer is set up, Im set to get 2 additional raises throughout the year. Even on the final raise, I would just make the same amount Im making now hourly. The new position is a lot more responsibility and high-level work, I just dont want to overstep my boundaries at my company but I dont want to take a pay cut just for a higher position. Some background: I have a great track record at my company, Id be the youngest person in the position ever and Ive gotten 2 other promotions and Ill have been at the company for 2 years in October. I am young 24 but I do my work well hence why I got offered this 3rd promotion. I just dont want to get screwed over but I dont want to seem ungrateful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  <response>: Tell your boss something like this. I really appreciate your offer, but after analyzing the numbers I realized that if I accept it, I would be taking a significant pay cut. Is there any way my salary can be raised so that my pay stays the same as it is right now?They should be able to increase your salary enough to match your current pay.
