Message: I will be getting my MBA in May, and I do not have any real work experience. I interviewed with a company, and they seem very keen to take me on. However, I got this interview through a good friend who has sold me to the company. They respect his opinion, so they are willing to offer me a job. My dilemma is about the job offer. I have always read and been told that you never accept an offer without a counteroffer. I asked my friend about it, and he said that they're willing to hire me, so its not like a regular interview process where you would want to negotiate. I do not want to come off as arrogant, but I've heard that many companies look at it negatively if you do NOT counter. Any ideas? I am leaning towards a straight acceptance.
