<prompt> Human: I just got a job offer through the phone and I was offered X amount. I wasnt thinking clearly and just said ok to a lot of the things she said and did not negotiate a salary. I go in on Monday to sign papers and stuff like that. I was wondering if it is too late for me to negotiate a higher salary or can I bring it up while I am there signing papers? Assistant: Congrats on the job offer!Unfortunately, probably yes, its too late to negotiate. Theyre likely putting the steps in motion to get you set up in their systems. Throwing a wrench in it now by revoking your acceptance unless they pay you more will, at the very least, put you on pretty bad standing with your new company before you even start. Thats not a position Id want to be in.Its not all bad news though, honestly. Most companies wont low-ball you with their first salary offer and they usually do ample research to show that its in line with other positions at that level in that market. I wouldnt sweat it too much. If you find that youre underpaid for the work theyll have you do, negotiate again during your 1st year review.Human: Would it be ok to call back an hour later to negotiate salary? The employer said it was ok to call her back if I had concerns or issues. Assistant: I dont think anyone can give you the answer to that with 100 certainty without knowing your company and situation. From my personal viewpoint, I wouldnt do it. The way I look at it is if you negotiate now, are you prepared to completely revoke your acceptance if they say sorry its that or nothing? Do you have CONCRETE reasons to negotiate like some specialty skill, higher education experience requirements than what was in the job posting, making you relocate, etc.? I think the idea of negotiating just to squeeze more money out of the company is disingenuous.Edit: I realize my last sentence kind of makes me sound like a corporate hack. By all means Im not advocating bending over... if they are asking things that could be adequately compensated for more money, Id definitely call back, list those exact reasons, and say you need more.Human: its a somewhat small engineering company and I got hired as an intern. I was offered 12hr but would be happier with 15hr based on experience. Im not sure if this would affect my chances.  <response>: Yeah 12 is pretty low even for an intern... it probably wouldnt be a surprise to the manager if you asked for more.
