Wage vs salary

Hello, I'd like to know the difference between wage and salary.

Also, how do I express the idea that I'd like my net wage/salary to be 600Euro for the first 6 months hoping to be increased after this period. Is there a non-arrogant way to say it?

thank you in advance.

Thank you
Also, is it better to express my goal for the gross salary or net salary? Which one would be better?

Gross salary = what the employer gives you before they subtract any deductions such as taxes, fees and insurance.
Net salary = the amount you get (the gross salary with the deductions taken out.)
