Any insights or advice on how I can seek a higher salary after acceptance?

I got too excited and accepted a job offer without negotiating for a higher salary.

Will it be a good idea to negotiate now, or in the near future?

When I heard that you got excited, does it mean you really like that job? If so, that means you really like the job and it may be good to accept the job and wait for 1 year to negotiate an increase of the salary based on great performance. It is not uncommon for a staff to have a high pay rise.

Unless the current salary is accept is waaaay below your standard level, then it may be better for you to craft a nice and polite email apologising.

Craft it even better than what you did now, mentioning that you are so excited over joining the company and contributing that you have forgotten to look into the salary aspects. now that you have looked into it, you realised its way below what you can commend based on your capabilities. :)

Best of luck whatever you choose!

I asked my boss for a raise but he said I didn't deserve it, so I sent him my resignation letter. Now he is asking me to stay with a higher salary. Should I accept his offer?

Is it worth getting bachelors with honours? Any advantages with regards to salary or chances of being accepted into a “higher” role?

i invested a large sum of money into Hyflux, I am hoping to seek advice on what I should vote for in the Scheme of arrangement. Wondering if anyone can give me some advice. Thanks!

I'm working in MHA and our salary are being credited by Giro with a description in our bank statement as ACCOUNTANT-GENERAL S(NRIC NO.) Not GIRO-SALARY. How? Can Multiplier or OCBC 360 be accepted?

Any advice how one can be jobless without salary and earn $ through full time investing? Is this sustainable vs someone with a few thousands dollars salary by working?
