I got an offer last week and countered with a higher number—HR came back saying they’ll “review internally” and get back to me. It’s been five days of silence. Do I follow up or keep waiting? I don’t want to seem pushy, but I also don’t want them to move on.

I'd reach out today. I assume you're talking business days, so it'll have been a full week since you last heard from them. That's enough time to have your follow up not come across as pushy and desperate.

It’s so painful out here with so many applicants looking for jobs. Hard to know when you should take the offer and be grateful or stand your ground. Hope it turns out well for you.

Definitely follow up and know your walk away money because they might not give you the target you want

I might wait until the end of this week or the beginning of next. Review internally means getting a hold of people and waiting for a lot of back and forth to happen. Especially with holidays coming up, everyone is going through a laundry list of urgent it seems.
