I received a verbal offer last week and I tried to ask for more money and they said will check and get back to me. How long should I wait before I follow up? One week, two weeks? Should I play cool and wait longer? I really want that job so don’t want them to think I am not interested. I asked for 10% more than what they offered but still in the range we discussed earlier.

They’re checking with the second choice candidate to see if that person is happy with the offered range. It’s out of your hands now.

In all fairness, candidates do the same thing when they are searching for jobs. The difference now is the market is in the employer’s favor.

Took a week for mine. They did not budge and I accepted anyway.

I understand your point D1 but once they select a candidate there is an expectation of negotiation. If someone keeps pushing then going back to second candidate or third makes sense. I agree with you this being employers market and they have upper hand.

Did 4 rounds of interviews. Last 2 with 2 partners at EY. Haven’t heard back even after 1 month. One partner even commented “you will be a good addition to the team”. Hiring manager gave EY email after her interview call with me.
Fast forward two weeks, no communication. Recruiting was surprised that I was still chasing for this position, month later. Got to know last week that hiring team was continuing to interview candidates. Should I drop the idea to get hired? EY hasn’t rejected me yet.
