So I accepted a contingent offer because it was my dream job and in the moment I was ecstatic. Now I’m wondering if I short changed myself, and regret not even trying to negotiate a higher salary. Is this something I can email HR about and try to negotiate my salary even though the offer was already accepted by me? What is my recourse here? Tyia.

If this is your dream job, and especially if you need this job, I would not attempt to negotiate at this point. I have heard too many stories of offers being rescinded in this job market after someone tried to push negotiations.

It can be a bad sign to try and negotiate after everything is signed and sealed. The best thing you can do is just learn from this and make sure you think about it before accepting. Focus on the good now, an offer from a dream job is something to celebrate!

Unless you have another offer, be prepared to continue your current job because they are unlikely to change the offer.

What's your current deal ? How much does it pay you ?

I normally wouldn't try to negotiate after things are signed -- but this is a great learning opportunity for the next time

I’d have to agree with the others saying that it wouldn’t look good.

I am not getting any response on my posts..I'm feeling depressed due to my bad luck. I have only 1 month noticeperiod left & had only 1 offer in hand with 40CTC. Right now my current salary is too low which is 27LPA with 14 yrs of exp and working as Data scientist. I am getting very few interview calls. Not able to decide whether to join that 40CTC or need to withdraw my resignation. The problem with current offer is job in another location with 3mnts wfh option.
Please pour your suggestions!!!
