<prompt> Human: Hey PF, I just got a Offer for a analyst role in NYC. I want you guys to evaluate the offer and see if I can push a little more out of it. Do you think this deal is fair or should I go for more.It comes out just a tad more then what I was making before here in NJ and now there is going to be extra costs associated which the commute or my relocation What I really wanted to do- 23- Graduate from Rutgers Business School double major Management Information Systems and Supply Chain Management- Had a internship which grossed 54,000year. 20 min commute. Finished 2 weeks ago- 55k worth of Student loan debt- 7k cash in savings- Interviewed with another NY company a week ago and looks promising as wellSo After 2 weeks of interview I received my first Job offer. Mind you this is NYC- 53,000 a year- 3 yearly merit bonus- Option of 100 grad education reimbursed- Butt load of perks that come with company- 7 401k match- 3 weeks vacationAny Advice would be appreciated, this is my first official career outside my internships and want to make sure I negotiate properly.Edit : Thanks for the Advice all. Ive done my research on my position and it is tough because there is not much out there in the NYC Area. The position is for a Procurement Analyst. I have previous experience at a 9bn food company and a HUGE personal care organization as well as a major third party logistic provider. I am going to say that when i first started interviewing I had the number of 60k in my head and that I really want the position and I am willing to work with them to find a middle ground because I really adore what would be my new colleagues and the organization.  <response>: First off, you should be basing your negotiation on what this position is worth and what the fair market value is for that job. Do some research to try and determine what the going rate for this job is glassdoor.com is a good place to start. Just a quick search, and I found this: Looks like the might be low-balling you, however, those benefits are pretty sweet. 100 grad reimbursement? Thats worth a lot of money. 7 401K match? Thats very generous. Determine whether or not youll take the the job for 53K, then you can negotiate from there. If youre thinking you can get another 5K-10K out of them, try to talk to them about it. Something like, Thank you so much, I really enjoyed interviewing, very excited about the job, I was thinking the salary would be closer to 58K, do you have flexibility with salary? And see what they say. The worst they can say is no, as long as you arent rude about it. Unless youre offended by the offer and willing to walk away, you want to make this a respectful conversation. Ultimately, 53K might be reasonable for someone with zero experience. It sounds like you have some experience already through internships, so play that up in the negotiation. Personally, I would absolutely not take a job that pays 53K in NYC, and Id be looking for a job to pay 65K bare minimum. If I were you, and this was the highest offer I could get in NYC, Id look into relocating to a cheaper city until my loans were paid off.
