Re: More job advice - salary negotiations
Nothumb, you need to realize that you are in good position here. You hold some power and you should use it.
They have a position that they need to fill and they are convinced that you are the right person to fill it. If you decide not to take the position they will have to spend considerable time and money to find a new candidate.
I don't think you have anything to lose by playing hardball. As you said, its a game to them. They are not going to withdraw the job offer if you fight them on the salary and they will probably respect you more in the long run.
Even if they don't give in to your demands, you could get some concession from them. For instance, if they typical review salaries after one year, maybe they can move that up to 6 months.
