Long story short, I just got offered a new gig that wants to pay about 10K less than I previously made. I figured there's no way of knowing for sure where I'd stand unless I asked. I would really enjoy the job, but the pay isn't up to scratch. I typed this email and am waiting to decide whether I should press send or not. I've been telling myself that I will invest in myself since March, and things have been relatively well since. I've just never done this before, and I'm kind of hesitant to send the email because I don't want them to pull the job all together. What do you guys think? Any one ever done this? Was it successful, unsuccessful? Share your stories please. I want to decide whether I'll send this email by the end of today.
Good afternoon Megan,
Kyle here. I had a meeting with my current employer this morning regarding my resignation and I wanted to keep the staff at ___ up to date with any developments. I am still on track to begin working on August 31st. I would, however, like to discuss the matter of pay. As it stands, I will be set to make considerably less than I currently do, and while I am willing to accept that necessary pay reduction in order to branch into a field that more interests me, I was wondering if there would be any possibility of renegotiating the $__ that was discussed. I appreciate the offer at $__, but was really anticipating to be in the $__ range based on my experience, drive and performance. I'm really excited to work there, and I know that I will bring a great deal of dedication and commitment to the position. I would love to hear from yourself or the attorneys regarding the matter. Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a delightful day.
