Here’s a tip from a hiring manager: I will never revoke your offer because you ask for: - A higher base salary - More stock - A signing bonus - Relo assistance I might not be able to offer any of that and then I’ll have to say no, but it’s probably safe to ask.
I've had an offer given higher scrutiny and then rescinded because I asked for a higher base salary. So it does happen. I'm still not going to stop though...
