I got an offer from Booz Allen Hamilton last week. However, when I sent the recruiter an email trying to negotiate my salary, the option to accept the current offer went away on the workday portal. Its been less then 24 hours since the salary negotiation email and I have not herd anything from the recruiter. Has anyone encountered this before? Do you think they rescinded the offer?

This is why you always negotiate over the phone.

Agree. Always email saying what would be a good time to discuss couple of points on comp and benefits - a discussion would help my understanding. Keep it neutral to let the recruiter make the call and then negotiate

Good morning all! BHA4 and Manager 1 was right on the money. I had call with recruiter today and my previous offer was taken down becase it needed to be revised. I was given everything I asked for and even a couple of things that I didn't during the negotiations. There is good news all around. I want to thank everyone with the great advice. I have a great first impression with BAH and I am very excited to get started!

How much more did you ask for?

BAH is super shady. Would not work for them ever.

We have been hiring a lot of people. It’s rare to have groups this unprofessional here, but it’s possible.

I would assume they’re working it on their end with the hiring manager. Turnaround right now is slower than typical. Keep us posted!

I agree with BAH4

In the language around your increase request, even if polite, did it communicate that you wouldn't take the job if the request wasn't met? A lot of offers are best and final so if you were clear that you wouldn't consider the offered salary, they may have read that as you not accepting. Usually though, the recruiter would respond to make sure you're declining if they can't change the salary

In workday, if they resent it for approval then your offer would go away. It could mean they are getting it re-approved

Yep! Very respectful and I only requested a modest increase. I also communicated my interest.

Wish you good OP. Hope you get to hear from the recruiter soon but send in a gentle reminder after 48 working hours of your last mail.

If no response from the recruiter by email, pick up the f*ing phone. If they don’t return your call, contact the hiring manager and explain what happened. Hiring manager probably wants you and is less likely to be overwhelmed than recruiters who handle a high volume and you’re probably just noise to them.

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
