Politely indicated that it was a disappointing offer and asked if they could improve it. Been almost a week since I've heard from my recruiter. Oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do you have a competing offer
Pro tip: a counteroffer is effective as a decline but has the advantage of giving them a way to get you to yes.
What if person does not have counter off...
Curious to know what qualifies as low-ball ? What was your offer ?
210k TC
It can't be swe
What was the offer? Is it blind or what?
210K TC for an L5 SWE
Which office
The recruiter doesn’t know what he/she is doing. Responding with that kind of lowball is appalling. As an HM, I wouldn’t be shocked if we lost a great candidate because of it. If you don’t hear from them by Friday morning, maybe email them again and CC the HM if you can.
Did they say they would try to improve it?
Nope just radio silence
You should follow up and present a “competing offer”
