So I know that you should always negotiate the salary of an offer. My question is when does that take place. I’ve received a verbal offer. The recruiter has asked if the amount is ok. At that point I said yes. Do I wait for the written offer to negotiate for more or did I miss the window? Still don’t know the details of the benefits so I was thinking of using that as an angle. Any suggestions?
It's not cool to say yes and then try negotiating again, but do so anyway and be nice about it. Tell the recruiter you weren't sure when these discussions happen.
Just say you the situation has changed due to other pending offer and would like to reconaider in light of this
We just spoke about 30 min ago. Should I call back and talk about the salary or should I wait for the written offer? I was trying to wait until he sent me the benefit package so that I could better evaluate the full comp
You should have already negotiated, or at least given a hint that you aren't happy with this package. Nevertheless, it isn't late. Just drop a mail later today thanking them for the offer, and mentioning that you are doing your market research and would get back to them on your decision, or that based on your research and expectation, it seems low. Written offers are hard to negotiate. In my case, written offer was only sent out after all negotiations.
I’ve also told him that I’ve been interviewing and at the point of waiting for offers for 2 other jobs.
Wait till tomorrow and say you got the other offer. Make the first move it'll be better
Hey, how did the situation turn out? I had a recruiter pull this same stunt with me. I didn’t know that “Is the salary okay?” (Me: Sure) = “I accept the job offer”. It feels sneaky. I don’t like that.

Looks like you already negotiated and said yes. You can always try and negotiate once you get a written offer. But it may be more difficult since you’ve already verbally accepted.
For clarity I’ve negotiated offers after verbally accepting and after receiving the official offer. Was able to get 30k more in rsus.
Unless something changed since the verbal offer, like another offer.
