been offered great job but wage is low - how to negotiate

[petemurphy]

sooo in short been offered great job in that its the company i really want to work for and the location is amazing. the salary they have offered though is very low and they say they cant really improve it. They may look at the package / other ways though.

How would you negotiate and what would you ask for?

any tips appreciated

thanks all - its not min wage or anything its just a lot less than i was on a while back. but location, company etc will def beat wage as it will be great place to work. someone else suggested asking for a 6 month pay review rather than a year - its things like that i need to try and push

thanks all - its at the low end of what would be a similar role but tbh the location, environment and company name make up for it. i disagree money is everything but yes its vv important! its new project so i expect they are trying to keep opening costs low so maybe need to push for early reviews etc once they are confident its making money. + it would be v good on the cv if i was still cheesed off in a year with the salary.
