Negotiate a job offer politely
Write a short, polite email to negotiate a job offer. I'm excited about the role but the base salary is ₹18 LPA and my research shows ₹21-23 LPA for this role in Bengaluru with my 4 years of experience. Ask for ₹22 LPA, mention one specific reason I'm worth it (I led the migration that cut infra costs by 30%), and keep the door open. Under 150 words.

Subject: Re: Offer for [Role Title]
Hi [Hiring Manager's Name],
Thank you for the offer for the [Role Title] position. I'm excited about the role and the team's direction, and I'd like to see this work out.
Based on my research for similar roles in Bengaluru and my four years of experience, I was hoping for a base salary of ₹22 LPA. In my current role, I led the migration that cut our infrastructure costs by 30%, and I'd bring that same focus on efficiency and impact to this position.
Is there flexibility to move the base to ₹22 LPA? I'm glad to discuss any part of the package and hope we can find a number that works for both of us.
Best regards, [Your Name] [Phone Number]
