Dear Ma'm
I am unable to understand how you"ll initiate the negotiation; when the company so far has not reverted to you ??
To be fair to you, I understand your desperation in joining a company which is :
- good;
- in your native place;
- and, you are very keen to join.
But then; WHAT WILL YOU DO if the company is NOT reverting back to you ??
That is why I suggested : "
Call them up or send mail, indicating your keen interest, irrespective of the salary issue."
Please INITIATE the DISCUSSION or negotiation (if you are happy with the term -"negotiation") when you are so keen to join; and the company UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES is not communicating to you.
I understand your feelings - of hope, confusion and desperation.
Your response indicates that you are confused about what to do next :
"i m ready for negociation as that compny is in my native place (they also know that) but i dont want to sound like one, i wanna go for little negotiation. What should be my move to take ball little in my court. your suggestion will be helpful as this is my first chance to go for negotiation at the same time it may be that they have started looking for other options as well."
But then instead of repeatedly seeking suggestions (which itself indicates your feeling of desperation; which is rightly pointed out by BHAVAN in his post); you should INITIATE the matter if there has been NO RESPONSE from the company.
Hope now you understand better the options left with you.
Warm regards.
