I was laid off in mid-April and, after 1.5 months of searching, I received a job offer. However, the offer comes with a 12% lower base salary and a lower title than my previous role. I attempted to negotiate for a higher salary, but the best they could do was an additional $2,000, which I find quite frustrating given that they expressed admiration for my background. The company is Japanese and seems to have a traditional approach to negotiations. They keep mentioning future growth opportunities, which is encouraging, but I'm unsure how to proceed. I don't want to make an emotional decision and walk away from the offer, but I'm also not satisfied with the proposed increase. I would appreciate any advice on how to approach this situation rationally.
