Accepting Salary offer

Salary is as an integral part of a new job offer. Salary can be one of the reasons of changing a job. If you get a salary that matches your expectations then you accept the job offer. Once a candidate clears all the rounds in the recruitment process, the final round tackles with the important question of salary. A candidate has to handle a salary offer in a tactful and intelligent manner. Once you have accepted the salary offered by the organization then you need to acknowledge your acceptance. This can be done by writing an acceptance letter or mailing your acceptance to the hiring manager.

When an individual acknowledges salary acceptance, he or she has to stress on the compensation package in the draft. Salary and the benefits that come with it have to be worked out together when you accept it. Salary acceptance is the last thing that an individual does before joining the organization. Even if the company has offered you the salary at first instance or you negotiated about it, make sure there is clarity about the final figure before accepting it.

Here are some suggestions you need to look into while accepting a salary offer:

Accept a salary offer that matches the competitive world and is based on your experience, skills, expertise. You have to know your value in the job market.

Make sure that your offer letter always has the final salary figure that was negotiated for. All the terms and clauses related to salary and other perks have to be clearly mentioned in a written document.

If you have two to three offers in hand then accept the one that matches your requirements and you are interested in. Show your acceptance by signing the chosen offer and let the other companies know that you are not interested.

If you have any doubts in the salary offer, then make it a point to clear those as soon as possible. It will help you in building good professional relations with the employer. Start you job on a positive and satisfied note.

The acceptance note that you will draft has to be professional and should show your eagerness to work with the organization that has offered you good salary and benefits.

Always take time out to write a thank you note to the people who helped you in job search once you have accepted a salary offer. They may be job consultants, friends, family members and acquaintances. This shows your gratitude.
