I need help. I had a pending offer with a company and saw on the portal the status said “offer”. I spoke with recruiter and asked if we could raise a few thousand more dollars. He said he would have to discuss with talent acquisition. The status now says”interviewing”. Did I lose my offer? He never said that that was their best and final.

I wouldn’t assume the worst. The candidates status is usually updated once you have completed a step. Since your final offer hasn’t been extended, I’d assume your application status will change once it is. Have you reached out to him? Has he gone silent?

Stay positive and best of luck to you!

Probably just an automatic step where salary is decided in the interview stage and an offer means what you would sign to accept. So in order to consider a diff salary, the process probably required returning you to interviewing.

That sounds ominous. You should definitely check in with the recruiter and find out what's up. The indication on the portal could be a glitch, but it does seem odd.

My question is, why did you ask to raise the offer? Do you have an alternative offer? Is 3K worth losing the offer?

Because it is smart business. The most leverage you will ever have with a company is when you have an offer on the table. Now is the time to negotiate for more money and better terms—from a higher salary or a signing bonus to paid parking and free coffee. If you asked via the recruiter and made it clear that this was not a deal breaker, I wouldn’t overthink it. As someone else stated, the system may have to be updated to reflect the current offer wasn’t accepted. I hope it works out for you.
