I was talking with a friend recently about whether negotiating salary ever backfires. I’ve personally never had an offer rescinded over it, but I still hear people worry about that. Has anyone actually seen that happen?

Any reputable firm will tell you that it’s their final offer and you can accept it by a certain date.

You don’t want to works for a firm that rescinds an offer because you negotiated.

interested to see responses. I've also never heard of rescinding an offer. Worst case I've heard is them saying no.

One of my friends got pushed out of a hiring process because she asked what the salary range was when she was called to interview. A young man who reported to me announced he was leaving after four years and the two top people in the org took it as an affront and stopped speaking to him. Bottom line - there are some incredibly stupid, unprofessional people in the world and we come across them randomly. However, be glad when they reveal themselves, especially if it is before you are stuck with them.

I’ve seen it happen. The candidate had the job but gave a super high number that wasn’t in a negotiable range for the level we were hiring for. We moved on.

I layer on time tracking, but smaller billable accounts will sometimes be just as demanding as larger billable accounts which create profitability issues.
