Well, my daughter got offered the job in NYC, but the money is not near enough. Very depressing. Perhaps they will be open to a counter offer. I haven't looked for a job in over 30 years but I am told that employers often expect candidates to discuss compensation, and negotiating shows them that you value your skills and want to ensure fair compensation.
@LnzyHou I told to get over the initial disappointment and focus on a reasoned counter offer that's well thought out and professional.

Tell her to not say "well, aren't you too cute."
(I did that once... not good π€£ )
But, tell her to counter with explanation as to cost of living, etc.
@Maude well, for one thing there a bona fide studies that list the salary needed to live comfortably in NYC so that's one piece of information that she has.
@dauphin87 I agree with the others to respond with a fair counter. And if they respond negatively to this, then she should consider it a dodged bullet.
@badkoukla good point!
@dauphin87 US Bureau of Labor statistics is a good source for accurate salary information.
@dauphin87 Negotiate but be prepared they aren't going to move orders of magnitude.
Counter but think if you would take something else if they can't move on money as much. (vacation, title, other perqs?)
@S_r_stone yes I was reading that those things might sweeten the pot.
@dauphin87 Title might seem pointless, but more than a few have parlayed a better title into a big bump on the "next" job.
@dauphin87
I have NEVER accepted a job at the salary offered. Even retail jobs.
