How risky is it to actually negotiate a received written offer? What are the chances of it being rescinded or downgraded?

Downgrade is rare. Rescind is a possibility if they say no and go to the next candidate.

A written offer is generated after a verbal has been committed. There’s a process to generate a written offer and must go through a compensation review process and approvals. It’s not just a pdf. It’s an involved process and often, a hiring manager will just go with the next candidate than initiate a new process that takes a couple of weeks to complete.

As risky as anything

It’s not like they cannot create a pdf with new numbers. Do you really want to work for a firm that will downgrade or rescind an offer if you ask for more ?

They can say it’s final and you can go with that

Do it I just give a sign on bonus when people ask, just make sure do it nicely. Like “I’m really excited about joining but I was wondering if there is room in salary space. Never hurts to ask. As long as you do it with enthusiasm

LOL I know where you’re coming from but once I max out my budget for my role and the pay analysis lines up with your experience AND you’re an amazing candidate, it’s either a sign on bonus or I gotta find some else

Chances of downgrade are slim I’d say, what would they achieve by doing that?

How much are you looking to negotiate by?

Always negotiate. My very first job offer in tech got me so emotional and excited that I nearly let a $5k increase in my salary escape me. I wasn’t pushy or demanding, I just knew the company had more to offer based on research. Of course, know your limits, and don't be too greedy, it'll be a shame if the company were to pull the offer away for something like a $1-2k difference

Even if it’s a pretty excellent one

You can still work for this company, but remember that you'll walk in the company's vicinity with a gigantic target and IF a layoff takes place, you'll be the first.

I am currently doing my full-time internship at a startup where I am getting paid 17$/hr. I will most probably be continuing with them in Fall as a part-time and asked for an upgrade to 25$/hr. I asked for that upgrade because I already have around two years of experience outside of Canada as a social media executive in a multinational company. I am currently doing a masters degree at Concordia so I believe 25$/hr would be more appropriate. Am I aiming too high?

Just scheduled a meeting to go over an offer for a Senior Engineer role. When asked what I would need to make in order to leave my current job, I said at least $160k depending on benefits (I know I shouldn't have given a number).

Assuming their benefits are comparable to my current position, have I given up all negotiation power by providing the initial number?
