I recently received a job offer and decided to negotiate a couple of terms that are important for my family commitments. Specifically, I requested to finish early two days a week or to continue working from home in the afternoons on those days. I sent an email with my negotiation request, but I haven't received a reply yet, and it's still the same day. I'm wondering how long I should wait before following up or assuming my request was declined. In the past, I've only negotiated once, and that situation was very different, with an immediate response. I've heard from others that negotiations can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of weeks, as HR needs to consult with the hiring manager about team needs. I'm leaning towards waiting a few days before reaching out again.
