Have you ever revoked an offer from a candidate who was negotiating too much? What would you say is the max # negotiation of rounds a candidate can push for without losing goodwill?

Also- as an employer, is your second offer usually your best offer?

Yes, we’ve revoked offers. I can think of one person who made a verbal agreement, then sent the formal offer letter back asking for more. I don’t understand what power move she thought that was.

I wouldn’t say the second offer is necessarily the best. If the negotiation goes more than three rounds, we’re likely just too far apart.

really glad it worked out for your friend :)

Oh yes! It’s fine for a candidate to try to negotiate but sometimes they just don’t take no for an answer. Then it’s just easier to find someone else.

do you make it clear that it's your final offer before moving on?

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

I was hired to manage the maintenance program, only to get here and physically do the work. 2 years later and being on-call daily but still expected to burn both ends of the candle and it does seem good enough for the corporate leadership.

Come back to work on Monday only to find that my work load was added to. What will it take?
