Over the past few weeks I've been looking to get out of my current job for several reasons, mostly because of the job content and pay. I interviewed last Friday for a management position where they admitted to me that I seemed as though I might be overqualified based on my experience. I responded that since I didn't have a degree in the industry I felt that I would need to prove my experience qualified me. Today I was offered the job. I quickly replied saying that I would like their hourly rate paid as a salary, and that I would like it increased 10% (still within their advertised range) since my skills would bring value outside the scope of the role and because due to timing I wouldn't be eligible for review for over a year. After I sent the counter, I received a message from the HR person thanking me for my reply and stating they would discuss it and get back to me. Did I screw it up asking for more money, or am I just being paranoid and they may take a day or two to discuss? This is my first time having a real negotiation for a salary, and honestly I would have taken the lower salary, but I felt that based on my skills and the position, I could justify the higher pay. I'm just nervous about them rescinding the offer.
