Do not reject immediately and do not accept immediately — taking time is your right. Say: 'I am delighted about the offer. May I share my decision by [date, 3–5 days]?' Then: prepare a counter-offer with justification ('Based on my experience with X and Y, I had expected Y euros'). If the salary is not negotiable, ask about alternatives: bonus, more holiday, remote work, professional development budget.
