A recruiter initially reached out to me on LinkedIn regarding the opportunity and encouraged me to apply. After completing an interview with the hiring manager and a panel interview that included a case presentation, I was extended an offer. During the offer discussion, I asked whether the compensation could be adjusted to better align with my current salary. The company responded with an increase, which I appreciated, and I reiterated my strong interest in the role. As a follow-up, I asked generally whether a signing bonus might be available to help bridge the remaining compensation gap. I did not provide a specific amount or make any demands. Shortly after raising that question with the recruiter, I was informed that the offer was being revoked.
