<prompt> Human: Hi. I finally finished interviewing with this company couple weeks ago. Two days ago a job offer came in. The offer totals at half of what I make now, maybe a bit higher.The position I applied for was software developer. I was pretty excited to even get called in to the last round of interviews and Im still very happy Im facing a possibility of working for them, as my current job does not offer me anything new or exciting to do or learn. Ive worked here in a small firm as a web developer for one year now, this is my first job.Even though I would absolutely love to work there, I cant justify a 45-50 pay cut. How do I proceed from here? How do I negotiate at least a match on the current salary? I dont want to turn them down as I look forward to working in that area with their technology, but I cant afford to take that salary as my fiancee is unemployed edit: employed until July actually, but nothing is working in her favor after that so we cant count on that and all expenses are on me. Im 100 sure I cant or can barely sustain us both with what theyre offering now.Not sure if I should, but I kind of feel insulted as Ive laid out my monthly expenses to them. Also, the offer Ive got looks like the one somebody with zero experience would get for the position.What do I do now?  <response>: You dont. A companys name doesnt pay your mortgage, what they pay you does. Fuck those guys, let someone else get seduced by a brand.
