[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do I do it? I love the potential boss and the work but I need at least $5k more to make the commute from Rockville to DC worth it and he already said the salary was the cap. I want to remain connected to him and even would be willing to meet for coffee to share contacts. Do I just say that? [/quote]

If you really love the boss AND the work, is it really worth it to turn down over $5k? Granted, we don't know your personal financial situation but having both of those things is worth so much.  It's your happiness! [/quote]

+1.  That is not even $200 a paycehck (after taxes).  I understand not wanting to do the commute unless the money was significant - but $5000 would not cause me to turn down a job that I think I would love. Perhaps you could ask him that if there is some flexibility in the future or is the cap it.

If that ship has sailed, I would be honest.  Tell him that you really liked what you saw and would have taken the job in a sec but for financia considerations (I hope he does not know that $5000 was the deciding number)[/quote]
