<prompt> Human: Im in the midst of a salary negotiation for a job at a media company here in New York. Their opening offer was 50k, I made a counter closer to 60k, recruiter said she could only come up to 52k. After thinking about it, and seeing as how I have another offer on the table for 60k at a PR firm, I turned down the job offer. Cut to 30 minutes later, the recruiter calls me back offering 55k. Told her Id think about it over the weekend. Is there any way I could get them to come up to 57k? I really want to work at this company, its my first choice. Plus, I want to negotiate more vacation days. Right now theyre saying 10, which is ridiculous, I was hoping for two weeks.  <response>: It is all dependent on how much you want to work for said company. How many vacation days does the other PR firm offer? Do you really want to work at the 60K PR firm?I would state to the recruiter you have an offer for 60K and however many vacation days at another PR Firm. Let them know youre willing to take 57K and whatever your goal vacation days are are to go to your first choice. Also, 10 days of vacation is two weeks in the eyes of the corporate world, if youre working 5 day work weeks.If the 55kyear job is your dream job, personally I would take it, even though youre leaving 5K on the table. If youve researched the company and really want that job, it is worth it to take that job instead of going somewhere else and being unhappy. Just my opinion. Anyways, good luck!
