Besides, when should I ask? When they ask me to sign the final letter of appointment, do I still have barganing power to propose to increase my salary to $3K?

Guys, please advise me~

Thanks in advance!
if you really want to bargain you should do it before they prepare the letter. it is not up to the person who prepares the letter, probably it will go up to the directors for approval. Also, a $400 increase for a $2.6k salary probably wouldnt go through, just my opinion though.
