Anyone ever seen an offer rescinded because you counter-offered by a small amount? Have an offer but was planning to counter by 5k or so. I was always taught to ask for something if you want it. What so the worst they can say? Recruiters I’m working with think it’s not a good look but working directly with company on this particular one.

Thx. They just called and honored it! If you don’t ask, you’ll never know ;)

Awesome!!! Congrats!

I’ve not had an offer rescinded for countering. If the counter is backed by some sound reasoning (ie your communicating your value, other offers, knowledge of the range for that cohort, lack of other benefits in the comp package, etc) I don’t see how the answer could be worse than no. I’d be interested in knowing why recruiters caution you against it. But also caveat that recruiters are working in the interests of companies so they’re likely a bit biased.

How much money are we talking about? 75k to 80k is a bigger deal than $200k to 205k. In most cases, they will just say no so you should come prepared to explain why 5k is fair/why you're worth it. There's a tiny chance they could be offended and rescind the offer but this would be petty on their part and would also be a red flag as an employer

I ended up countering by 10k. 120-130k. 120k seemed low for a Sr manager role in a city that is growing and has one of the hottest job markets in US. I’ll let you know what they say.

Good luck. Hope you get it!

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
