Recently I interviewed by a HR rep over the phone for a position.  After the interview that went very well I was asked if 60' sk was in my realm.  I said yes and was soon called for another interview.  That interview went well and was asked what I was looking for and of course I said " I would like to make in the 60' s".  Got to the offer stage which was sent to me via E Mail.  The offer came in at 54k.  I questioned it and was told that it' s the top offer they were willing to pay.  I really liked the position but had to refuse the offer due to the fact they it was over 6k less than what I am making now.  I assume that this issue is now dead but really would have liked to work for this company.   Any suggestions whether or not I should continue to purse this position or how I would go about approaching them again???  I would be willing to negotiate somewhat....
