If I declined initial offer and proposal new numbers.. How long does it usually take for company to answer back?
I emailed them and they didn't respond anything at all?

Should i follow up or wait atleast one day?

  • Did you not ask the recruiter that when you had the counter offer conversation?

    I always make it a habit, on the phone, during negotiations, to ask when they expect to have an update for me. Then I tell them if I don’t hear from them by x, I will follow up. They will say ok. When I do follow up it would not be out of the blue.

    • Usually means they have no news for you. Lots of things are happening in the background as they need to get approvals for you. Was your counter reasonable? Counters always have a small risk of having your offer rescinded due to you asking too much or another equally qualified candidate becomes attractive.

      How long has the recruiter not responded? Wait 3 days at least, and follow up again.

      If this lasts longer - other things you can try is calling or find someone else in the company to ask for you.
