Okay. I now have 2 internship offers. After speaking to my labmates interning this summer. It seems that I am being offered way less money. I don't know how much less is reasonable considering I am in the midwest. I also don't know how or what to negotiate.
Of course I still prefer the research company, even though it did take me telling them I had another offer to hear back from them. Any suggestions on negotiations? I am hourly and part-time (so no benefits).
They say:
Please feel free to call us if you have any questions about this offer or wish to negotiate portions of it.
There are many details to be worked out for both you and for us, and we'd like to begin addressing
them as soon as possible.
