<prompt> Human: As the title states.Say for example I am offered a job at 50kyear.Id be content with 50k but I think Im worth more. So I want to counter offer at 58k.How do you do this without losing the offer?  <response>: I have NEVER heard of a company reneging an offer because of a reasonable negotiation. of which yours qualifies. If they have no room in their budget, and 50k is the max, they will let you know that its a take it or leave it offer. They wont move onto the next potential hire until you decline the offer. Assuming of course you respond within a proper timeframe - 1 or 2 business days maximum
