In the past year, has anyone experienced (or heard of) an offer being rescinded after trying to negotiate a salary that was already firm and agreed-upon? Wondering if any companies have used it as an excuse to go with a 2nd choice who may take a lower salary. This market is so bad it’s making me scared to take any chances with negotiating.

No, that's weird. Why couldn't they just refuse to budge on the salary?

It’s happened. You can have an offer letter in hand and an official start date and still find the offer rescinded. And on the other side, people have accepted job offers and then failed to show up. Candidates often accept counter offers, too.

I know. I’m wondering if it’s easier to be rescinded these days since there’s so much competition and budget stinginess
