Recently countered an offer last week, I didn’t receive a reply. Today, the recruiter contacted me to set up a zoom call with a few senior executives, for next week a they clarified it wasn’t an interview but so I may ask questions regarding my concerns. Is it odd I haven’t received a response to my counter?

Really want to echo director 1. If they just wanted to accept your counter you would have the offer in your inbox. This feels like s pretty transparent pressure tactic

I actually think the execs want to meet with you now given you asked for more money and/or there is a competing applicant they are seriously considering as well. More money could still happen.

Thank you! I do know that they need to hire multiple people for this position, at least 4-5 I believe. I’m just worried the initial offer will be taken off the table and the other offer from another company will be “expired”.

I think that no executive would take the time to try to meet you in a more personal level only to low ball you. I think they like you. They may just want to confirm their choice. They’re probably meeting you AND the other final candidate. Just a thought.

I think it’s not unusual… I met with senior execs outside my interview loop as well when I asked for more money

This has happened to me before. In my scenario, the company liked me (and it seems like they like you a lot, or else the hiring manager would not want to spend more time with you again), but they could not meet my min on comp.

This is a last attempt to impress you to accept their offer. Be prepared to accept or reject soon after this meeting.

Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
