Tried my luck to negotiate a higher salary during the hiring process. They came back standing by their original offer saying it's competitive for the market rate and my experience level. They were polite about it and still seem keen to proceed, and I'm inclined to accept their offer all things considered. But a bit paiseh after I failed my nego attempt. Any advice how I can reply to politely accept their offer and get back on the right foot with them?

Happens to the best of us. No harm done! Maybe just reply with something like, ‘Thank you for considering my request. I’m happy to accept the offer and look forward to working with the team.’ It keeps things professional and shows you’re still enthusiastic

If they’re being polite then it’s fine. You too be polite with them. No big deal mah

Don’t stress abt it too much la 😆 they shld still be excited that you’re joining the team. When you get to work in that role, just show them your capabilities who knows they might offer you increment right 😛
