Yesterday I got a verbal job offer so I asked for a written offer to look it over. The HR rep told me she can’t give a written offer until I accept. I said I would contact them in the next 3 days with - decision. I emailed an hour later to ask if there is any wiggle room in the base salary because I’ve been told to always negotiate salary. The recruiter called me and asked for a number which I hadn’t prepared so I just maybe 10k more. Today the offer was rescinded. No explanation. What do I do?

Two red flags here — refusing to put the offer in writing until you accept and rescinding after you tried to negotiate the salary. I’d apply to other companies/positions.

Definitely dodged a bullet! Job searches are exhausting and it’s hard not to take rejections personally (particularly if you’re just starting out in your career). Keep your head up and keep applying.
