How long does it take to get your salary approved? I got an offer from KPMG lighthouse. The salary offered was lower than expected. I made a counteroffer. The recruiter told me she submitted it to the compensation committee for approval. It's been a week I haven't heard anything back.

A week isn’t that long. I would give it another week and follow-up, if you already have the offer there’s not much you have to worry about.

As an overall FYI, Lighthouse doesn't pay very well considering market. But you get leaner teams and a fairly decent brand name.

how did this end up going? :)
