Yesterday I was given a job offer of $52,351 (random I know). Today I called them back after doing some research and said the average for my degree is $56,000-$58,000, and asked if there was any flexibility in the offer to come closer to this salary. The woman in HR said she would check and get back to me.
Now my dad is saying that they are probably checking to see if they can get the #2 or #3 candidate for cheaper than this- can they do that? Don't I have to formally decline first? If they came back and said that no, they cannot adjust the salary, I would accept it, I figured there was no harm in asking. But now I'm freaking out that they may retract the offer and offer it to someone else.
