Nora, how about this, just to streamline:
Thanks so much for your quick response. I'm thrilled you'd like to bring me on board.
I'm seriously considering the offer at the salary you stated, but I'm also interested in the health/dental insurance and PTO benefits. I would also like to explore the relocation terms; are B and W the people to ask about that?
Thank you again. I look forward to discussing this with you and your colleagues very soon.
YAY NORA AND TOM! IT IS AN ASSCAPS KIND OF DAY!
Amy, thank you- I'm so excited, I'm just babbling like a crazy person.
I might add something about benefits making up for the salary issue, like.
I'm hoping that it would be possible to discuss some changes in the benefits in lieu of salary.
And be prepared to make some suggestions, like additional vacation days or 401 k contributions.
Hey, babble is good. It's very babble-worthy!
OR free red beans and rice with ketchup.
I think it's the vinegar that makes it work.
