How to Negotiate a Job Offer You Already Accepted

Episode 18 of The Resume Room tackles a tricky career situation: accepting a job offer, then getting a better counteroffer or a second offer. Lucas and Luna walk through whether it's ethical to renegotiate after saying yes, drawing on a real case of a marketing manager who accepted an $85,000 offer, then got a $95,000 counter from her current employer. They discuss the one-week grace period recruiters informally allow, how to phrase the conversation without burning bridges, and the data on how often renegotiations succeed—about 30 percent for candidates who ask. The hosts also share concrete email templates and timing tips. If you've ever wondered whether you can go back after accepting, this episode gives you the specific playbook. #JobOfferNegotiation #CounterofferStrategy #ResumeRoom #Careers #JobSearch2026 #SalaryNegotiation #RenegotiationEthics #CandidateAdvice #RecruitmentTips #HumanResources #CareerMoves #JobOfferEtiquette #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InterviewTips #ProfessionalDevelopment #EmploymentStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
