Was scheduled for an interview today for a Director pos. early morning I get a Reschedule request to next Wednesday but I cannot make it due to personal commitment .
Called recuit mgr.to let him know and he tells me the director is very busy as she’s the IT. Dir for the whole org.politely asked him to send her availability other than next Haven’t received anything since then . Wondering if such co. Is worth pursuing that doesn’t value others time and that too a replacement pos for the same busy role 🥹

The odds of them rescinding the offer because of a reasonable negotiation is incredibly low. I wouldn’t go crazy and ask for 15% more, but it’s industry standard to at least do a modest counter offer. The alternative is just leaving money on the table, because they kind of expect you to negotiate. I strongly encourage you to do at least a moderate counter.
Agreed!
First and foremost, deep breathe! But I’m exactly like this too, thinking through every little thing! I think the only concern with them rescinding is if you are being aggressive or changing something you already said you’d accept, asking for a completely unreasonable amount, things like that. It’s up to you whether you counter or not, be informed about all the details, show that you are knowledgeable, and go from there.
People get offers rescinded when they engage in negotiations that come off as unserious. As long as you are operating in good faith, you might be able to bump the compensation up a bit. If they tell you at the outset they don't have the budget to increase the offer, it might be wise not to push it. But if it looks like there might be some flex you could make a counteroffer.
Wish you lots of luck....
