Negotiation Details –
A month went by without any feedback. I had an offer at another company so I simply called HR to hurry up and make their decision.
Salary they offered was $10K less than what I was making and HR was shocked that I made that much. HR wanted my offer letter from previous company, including W-2 and income statement to verify. They came back and matched my salary. (so dont lie about your salary, I heard one person's offer was retracted because of inflated salary information)
