[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, I think they are figuring out whether the other finalists are going to work better for them. Negotiating is hard--you're always told that you should negotiate, but it can backfire, esp for women.

you got some great tips, but a few things to keep in mind: the most desirable you are (niche market, they've been looking a year, specialized experienced and you have a great job) the more room you have.

the second thing is to start a good conversation and reiterate throughout that you are really interested in he job as a whole, not just the salary.

I would have started the conversation with honesty: they tell you 49-52: you respond, my target salary is in the mid 50s. This is in line with my experience, skills and what others in a similar position are making (have some stats). Is there any wiggle room or other parts of the compensation package that we can discuss?

But, with no job, 6 m unemployment, and a past salary in the mid 40s, you should really accept the fairly large jump they are offering you--if the job doesn't work out, then you have that salary (50k) to negotiate a raise in the next one. Most of all, employers don't respond to your salary needs--you may 'need' 59k/55k, they need a worker that fits their budget. [/quote]
