You could try to negotiate. Personally I wouldn't take it, the offer is too far from what I would want & I don't think they'd offer what I wanted based on what they've already offered you, but that's just me.

If you decide to take it, keep looking around, although bare in mind that you won't have much time to go to interviews.

No vacation for the first year isn't unusual. Ten days of vacation that includes sick days is skimpy. No healthcare for the first 3 months is standard. No 401K? Open your own Roth IRA.

Thanks Jim. That thought did cross my mind, I know that even in the UK the travel industry has a reputation of being not so good to its staff, although there it's more in terms of salary! 5 days holiday I could just about live with initially, but none just seems a bit extreme even for the US

I'm not particulary bothered about what industry I work in here. I had moved into a the agency side before leaving the UK. Just a co-incidence that this job is back to travel (although a good one!)

I understand what you are saying about making contacts, but unfortunetly this company doesn't really deal with the North American market more Europe and Asia so my contacts won't be in the right place!
