Q: You answered my question about making a job change recently. After initially accepting the offer, I recanted and turned it down. Later that day the HR Manager left me a voicemail stating management really liked me and wanted to sweeten the offer. I called this morning. Instead of making an offer, she asked me what it would take to get me to come. I gave her a number that was 6% more than what Iwas offered, but still well within the stated salary range. She later sent an email saying she gave the proposal to management and that they were going to pursue other candidates. They didn't even make a counter offer, and said they really didn't think I wanted the job. I thought it was bizarre.
Hmm, perhaps they were hoping that you wouldn't ask for an increased salary. They may be looking to pick someone from the list who will cost them the least amount of money. However, you shouldn't settle for less than what you think you deserve. I say weigh out the pros and cons and determine which choice will suit you best.

~Best of Luck!

Thank you!
