After having passed many interviews I have finally received an offer for a job in Cairo that really matches with my professional profile.
The problem is that the salary they offered me is not what I was expected at all.
I have replied to their email, stating the minimum of money I was expected but still did not get any reply from them if whether they would eventually accept to negotiate the salary they offered me.

Which advices would you give me to try to get a higher salary? The thing is that now I am scare they would not get back to me, as my expectation may be too high.

it depend on what is the job / and how is that company .. big and international or local company ? are u Egyptian or not ? and dont forget the emplyers always think that he/she can bring other with half of the salary he/she offered you [Big Grin] so my advice is .. accept any salary they offer you .. and when u already working dont give up trying to find better job.

if u are qualified and they need you .. they will accept what u ask for .. but dont accept less than the minimum u asked for ..

Thank you aXXo for your replies.

This is what I thaught too, the thing is that I do not know if they would be able to find someone who has simular skills and qualifications and if yes i would have to accept their salary. And what worry me is that they still did not reply to my email since yesterday evening so I am also scare that I may loose it all

trust in urself .. if they give others good salaries .. so why not give you same ? and i guess because u are not egyptian they will understand that they cant offer you same salary they offer egyptians .. best of luck
