So I finally got a job offer in my new city-yay! But the offer is only a bit more than what I was making at my previous job in a cheaper city-boo! It's about 4% more than my previous salary, but my previous city had a lower cost of living. The hiring manager left me a message with the offer and said to call or email back. I was planning to email back but would love some tips on what to say in the email. I typically do negotiations over the phone but I thought emailing would probably be better.
For background, I have about 6 months of experience in the exact job (left my previous position because I moved) and about 2 years of total experience with the field. I am obviously not an expert, but that's more than most people who start this type of work. I also have several years of management experience, and will be responsible (with one other person at my same level) for managing 2 assistants.
I would love any tips on how to approach this and how to word my email! Thank you in advance!
