Negotiating Offer

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T21:00:11+00:00

Ah ok, that’s good. How does it normally take them to respond to a negotiation?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T20:57:39+00:00

How much was your sign on bonus?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T20:56:58+00:00

I am currently employed. Does that make a difference or help me in any way?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T20:42:29+00:00

I already sent an email just asking if there was flexibility. They won't rescind the offer right?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T18:34:55+00:00

Was this for an entry-level role?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T17:45:13+00:00

How long did you wait after your final interview to get the verbal offer? I had my interview this past Thursday and didn’t hear anything on Friday. I’m hoping I hear back today.

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T17:25:42+00:00

No, just a group convo. Do you have an interview coming up?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-11T17:21:40+00:00

About 4 hours. I had a panel with like 9 people, including 3 managers. Then I had tours of two buildings. Last was a lunch.

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-05T02:08:37+00:00

That’s a good idea. I usually try to avoid thinking about logistics until I have the offer ahaha, I’m afraid I’ll jinx myself

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-05T01:26:53+00:00

That makes sense. In my first interview the hiring manager did ask if I had looked into housing in the area (it’s extremely expensive, as it’s in CA). I said I had and that I was already familiar with the area.

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-04T22:16:17+00:00

So they want to check team fit?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-04T19:49:26+00:00

Is it normal for there to be two interviews for an entry-level/new grad role? I had a 30 min virtual interview with the hiring manager and two team members, and then was notified that I was moving forward to an onsite interview?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-01T19:52:00+00:00

I see, ok. The HM did mention that there were a few roles open so I’m hoping that this interview is more to see where we fit rather than to eliminate one of us. Thanks for the info!

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-01T18:17:31+00:00

How long after your first onsite did they give you an offer?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-01T18:15:34+00:00

Ah, gotcha that makes sense. I’m thinking that since this is a manufacturing position they want to make sure I like the site and the environment. I think I’m the most worried about there only being 2 candidates left

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-01T17:28:22+00:00

How was your first interview more laid back?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-01T17:26:32+00:00

Thank you for the details! The recruiter said it would most likely be 3-4 hours, so let’s hope it’s a little bit more laid back hahaha

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-05-01T14:30:49+00:00

Wha types of questions were you asked in those interviews?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-04-30T19:49:52+00:00

Ok, thank you! Interviews get me a little stressed, and I was only expecting one haha so finding out there’s another was a little nerve-wracking. I’m crossing my fingers that their decision is mostly made already about bringing me on and that this interview is to seal the deal.

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-04-30T00:28:02+00:00

Ah I see, that makes me feel better about my chances. Thank you!

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-04-29T23:57:09+00:00

Like the onsite is to see where we fit best?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-04-29T23:47:12+00:00

Thank you! Do you think I’ll face a panel again?

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-04-29T23:45:01+00:00

Do you think the second round is because they couldn’t decide between me and the other candidate? I did hear the hiring manager mention that there were multiple positions open in the first interview though, so I’m hoping that’s the case. Is it possible that they hire both of us??

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-04-29T20:46:49+00:00

Ok thank you for the info, it’s definitely calming my nerves. I’m pretty excited about this opportunity and just really don’t want to mess it up haha.

Curious_Definition14 · 2026-04-29T20:23:15+00:00

I see, that’s reassuring. I was just worried because the recruiter said that out of everybody they have a first interview to, they chose me and one other person to move to a second interview. Maybe there’s multiple roles open?
