Received an offer 2 days ago. While on the call with the recruiter, I asked if the base can be increased to my initial ask. Recruiter mentioned they would follow up. I followed up the next day and thanked them and said I’m looking forward to hearing about my ask. I was supposed to respond to the offer today. Followed up with my recruiter who mentioned another person will follow up with me as they are taking medical leave. Continued..

Ugh. Recruiters. I’d follow up 1st thing Monday with the new contact, and let them know you’re very concerned, and if you dont hear from them by EOD you’re planning to reach out to the actual company on Tuesday AM to make sure nothing gets lost during the transition. If you have to go nuclear: “I know it’s a little unorthodox for me to contact you at this point, but I’m concerned I haven’t heard anything from the recruiter in several days after I received the offer. This job is incredibly important to me and I don’t want any possible miscommunications to jeopardize anything.”

Thank you for this advice. Luckily they just reached out and everything went well. 😊

Glad you got it solved. In this case it didn’t seem like someone was trying to ghost or avoid. Recruiters are human, too, and sometimes have emergencies!

Hello fishes,

Or could it because my CTC is too high ?
