Subject: Your Operations Manager offer — salary
Dear Priya,
Thank you for the offer for the Operations Manager role at Acme — I'm genuinely excited about it. I'd like to discuss the base salary before I accept. I was hoping we could land closer to $95,000. Is there room to revisit it?
Kind regards,
Sam
Hi Priya, thank you for the offer! If the base is fixed, could we look at other parts of the package — extra leave, remote days, or an earlier review? Thanks, Sam
Frequently asked questions
When should I send a salary negotiation email?
After you receive the official offer but before you accept — that's when you have the most room to discuss. Keep the tone warm and positive about the role.
How do I counter a job offer politely?
Thank them, show enthusiasm for the role, then state your request and a brief reason (experience, market rate). Invite a conversation rather than issuing an ultimatum.
What if they can't move on base salary?
You can negotiate other parts of the package — extra leave, remote days, a signing bonus, or an earlier review. Use the 'Negotiate benefits' option.
Does this tool tell me what figure to ask for?
No. The figure is your decision and depends on your role, experience and market. This tool only helps you put your message into words.
