[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been out of the hiring game for a bit, so curious what the read is on this. I received an offer last Friday. It was nearly what I had hoped for. Took the weekend and decided on Tuesday to ask if there was any more room on the salary. The recruiter said she’d look into it. Haven’t heard anything since. Should I follow-up tomorrow? I’m excited about the position and am now worried I look greedy! [/quote] It is smart to push back and counter versus taking the first offer. If there is an amount you'd immediately sign for and have thought about, you can counter with that. The additional data point that you'll stop looking at other options can be powerful. Just asking for more isn't very helpful though. The recruiter usually has no incentive to keep the company's costs down, so she should be advocating strongly for you.[/quote]
