Got an offer today for a job I'm really interested in. There's huge potential to compeltely overhaul the program and I would have a lot of creative control. It requires relocation to a city that is 8 hours away, but my wife and I really like it. Unfortunately, the offer is $0.83. Cost of living there (housing) is 11% more than where I currently am. My previous salary (from a job where I worked about a month) was ~$0.92 and the one before that ~$0.75. I would get a $0.10 signing bonus and they said they give about a 10% annual bonus. Obviously I can't count on the bonus. That's an earned outcome of being good at my job. Market value for this position is higher, but I have a difficult time justifying it. I'm currently in the final stages of some other interviews and I'm sure they will outbid - but they're in cities I don't want to live in. Their rationale is $0.83 salary + $0.10 signing bonus (moving) + $0.08 (bonus) = $1.01! Great, huh?  How should I present my case for this? This position is pretty high visibility and I DO want to work there... but how often do companies raise their offer by something like 15%? That barely gets me to break even with my last position (it doesn't). Should I come back with $1.00? Will they just laugh at me for that when they came in at $0.83? I get paid in pennies, by the way.
