ive been offered a job as a chinese linguist/ translator. but they want to pay me £25,000 a year before tax. I think this is ridiculously low. how do i respond to this letter in a way that doesnt sound rude but asks for more money.
the company is huuuuge
bump
Tell them to kinda fuck off. That’s way too low. Consider moving to the US
Hahahhaa that is peanuts
i know thats peanuts its 2022. lolz. but i still kind of want to do the job. how does one negotiate these things
>how do i respond to this letter in a way that doesnt sound rude but asks for more money.
Tell them your CCP-supporting uncle has infiltrated GCHQ and will get their Gweilo ass on the first plane to Xinjiang if you don't get £30k.
That is horrible dude you’d make more at McDonald’s. Laugh in their face and tell them to fuck off
Do you know how many Chinese (I assume Mandarin) speakers there are these days? Not to mention machine translation tools that are good enough for most day-to-day use cases. Your skills are not rare enough in the market to warrant a higher salary.
nice try heng pang bong dong diggy do
you'll take £25,000 and enjoy it faggot
If you're saying it's ridiculously low then you're obviously expecting way more than that, you'll probably need to look elsewhere. I'd say get a job that isn't strictly about speaking Chinese, but does require a Chinese speaker
Take the job while you look for other offers but do absolutely nothing and collect paychecks
>you’d make more at McDonald’s.
No you wouldn't.
16$/hr w/benefits.
128*5 = 640
640*52 = 33080
I think that's an average starting salary for a translator in the UK. If you are a especialised translator then you might make more but you need a master's degree for that
so what you're saying is they didn't lowball me at all? And what do you think would motivate them to not lowball me.
Don't try to sound either rude or polite. In your response, thank them for the offer and taking the time, then just state what you want to say as a matter of fact and then make a concrete ask--- "I appreciate your offer of 25000/yr, but I ask for _____/yr in exchange for my services." no need to explain further why, like citing inflation or rising living expenses--- just ask for what you want
Tell them that doesn't meet your needs and requirements. But if that's the average starting salary for a Chinese translator then you need to explain why you're worth a little more. Unless there's a lot of unfilled openings in that line of work
Yeah that's a good way to do it
She better shut the fuck up before I fuck her cute autistic face. She really need a good deep dicking, and not the deep dicking molestation she got from her parents.
You simply tell them you cant live off that as a fulltime job.
Do not accept any higher offers (doubt they'll make one, but still). This is clearly a shit company that doesn't value employees in the slightest.
