Do you think I have any wiggle room here to discuss another compensation package for a job offer I already verbally accepted? I was contacted with the initial job offer late last week which I quickly accepted over the phone but after talking to family and friends in the business I finding out that there’s an opportunity for a slightly higher pay rate than what’s currently being offered. I’ve never had to renegotiate a salary before so I’m not quite sure of the proper professional protocol and process to communicate this without having the offer completely retracted by the employer. I still haven’t received the official written copy of the offer yet but I’m expecting it’s going to arrive sometime this week. Any Suggestions?
