<prompt> Human: Im sorry if this is the wrong place, I just got a job offer from a company that Im really excited about. Backstory: Im an automation engineer with 3 years experience and a BS in Mech Eng Technology. While I dont really want to work as a full engineer, I do love the automation field. I got a job offer to start as an engineering technician with ability to shadow my supervisor and grooming to take his place in the next year or so. My last job was as a design engineer for a high tech company making 58K. The new company offered 45K but in the interview the supervisor said that he would ask for 55-60K and the company would offer 50K and for me to negotiate to 55K. With the offer of 45K I think I should reply with something like Albert and I agreed upon 51K in the interview We did in fact agree on this price. But Im not sure how to phrase the counter offer. I think this might be a small test from the new company to see how I respond to challenges. Any help will be extremely appreciated.  <response>: Seems like there are two possibilities:1. The 45K offer was an honest oversight and can be corrected by doing just as you suggested. Try it.2. The 45K offer was an attempt to pay you less than was promised. If this is the case then accept the offer knowing you will work for a company that is likely to over promise and under deliver in creative ways as long as work there.
