It's gonna be slow at least until next week. We have a big conference going on this week
I would not walk away! As others have mentioned everything is very slow right now. Basically nothing happened between December 23rd and January 4th. And then last week everyone was just catching up. I'm still waiting for responses on competing offer negotiations myself as a recruiter. I would just gently remind your recruiter that you would love to know what the expected the timeline is.
I would not resign until I had a written offer from your counter. They should come back to you with either what you countered with or the original offer again. That has been my experience. Hope this helps.
I do want to say that the process was VERY long.. been interviewing since Sept and the verbal offer came in end of Dec. However, it was still one of the most positive interviewing experiences I have had - HR has been super responsive usually and great interviewers
I had countered with a much higher number and we ended at the revised offer I mentioned above. I did end up signing the offer
They will get back to you ;)
Could be months

Yikes this seems like a really long time! I know recruiting is taking a breather but this is way too long - have you checked in with recruiter? I’d be concerned…
What should they be worried about? The offer isn't being rescinded....
Thanks everyone for the response! :) I did receive an update from the HR today. I guess the holiday period wait weren't good for my nerves

Congrats!
They are taking up to 4 weeks right now. Between holidays, end of year adjustments and people moving locations they are quite busy
A ton of companies shut down during the holidays, Google was one of them. Recruiters are dependent on hiring managers and they took off work as well. It is a known fact that Google moves slow.
Oh ok my bad, the department I’m interviewing with was not available and recruiter referred to holiday shut down
I think it depends, it was the next day for me
What a gutsy move to counter a Google offer. I would literally counter with a lower offer to get in.
I was able to leverage my current amazon job and my path to promotion as a counter offer. Please don't hesitate to counter, all companies expect you to negotiate
