Nervous I ruined a job offer by counter-offering. Will they rescind?
Hey everyone, I need some peace of mind.
I just graduated with my Master's in Health Informatics with a concentration in health services analytics was just offered a full-time role in the pharmaceutical field.
They called me yesterday and offered $25.10/hr. I verbally accepted on the phone because I was excited and caught off guard. However, when the written official offer letter came today, I realized the baseline rate felt low given my graduate degree and my previous background.
Before signing the portal link, I sent the recruiter a polite email asking if there was any flexibility to move the base rate to $28.00/hr to better align with my Master's credentials.
Is there a chance they will rescind the offer? Should I just sign the offer letter just in case?
Please let me know 😭
