Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Does that make sense for the role (typical market range), your skills, and/or the company? I normally say to overshoot when you counter, and then they should meet somewhere in the middle. However, we are in some different times.
You can always ask and negotiate. Of course if they say no, then it is up to you if you want to accept what they offer. If they counteroffer, great! If they are offended or rescind an offer because of an ask, then guaranteed you wouldn’t want to work there any way. You know your worth, asking should not automatically equal a “no”.
They might rescind; that's the risk you take negotiating in an employer's market. Hopefully they are open to negotiate and willing to come back with a counter. Personally, I wouldn't have pushed so hard unless it was a major lowball offer, but what's done is done. Fingers crossed, let us know how it goes!

They probably wouldn’t rescind, but they will come back with something that is far away from your asking. So I would just be open to taking a lower number.
