I was offered just 10 per cent more than a fresh diploma grad pay (engineering role) in this particular company. Even so, its almost a 20% cut to my current salary.

Im willing to take the cut up to 10%.

I have 3 years experience in the pharma industry. I really like to get myself the job and i asked if there is room for nego but the hiring manager (from HR) said no immediately on the phone.

So no chance of counter offer even if i reject?
