Whenever I have to put slides together, I doubt myself a million times and it takes too long to make a single slide.

Thanks, in advance 🙏🏻

Does Citi usually drag their feet with the offer process? I received an offer two Fridays ago and the recruiter went to the hiring manager with my salary request. They countered my salary request last Tuesday and I countered back in between both numbers (only a $5000) differential. I reached out to the recruiter yesterday and she said she would get back to me very soon. Wanted to make sure I’m not in jeopardy of losing this offer for negotiating? TIA
