The grass isn’t always greener. Are there any reservations with the first company? If so, keep interviewing.

Depends what you agreed to when the offer was extended. If you said “can I take the week to think about this” when it was extended, you get the week.

If you said on a Monday “can I get back to you on Wednesday/in a couple days”, you get until Wednesday/a couple days

Thank you, just edited the post to better reflect my situation!

I’ve waited a week. And told the second company I have an offer to speed things up.

But also: don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Never heard of anyone waiting around a whole week! I would press the second company if anything.

Asked for a week to think things through and was honest about considering another agency. Told the other agency (who I had just started interviewing with) that I was siting on an offer so they would expedite the interview process. Ended up taking a week and a half in total to get an offer from the second agency before I went back to the first agency with a no. Felt like I pushed it waiting so long, but thankfully it worked out in the end

I am interviewing with a company. Last week, one week after the interview, my hiring manager reached out to me with a couple of clarifying questions. We talked then I sent him recommendation letters from my previous employers. He said that I should have an answer from them this week whether I get an offer or not. I haven’t heard back since and yesterday I reached out to the recruiter to get some status updates. She has not responded. It’s already Friday. Is it a bad sign or am I overthinking?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
