I'm a freshly grad MechE student. I received an offer from Lockheed sometime ago and they gave me a really short window to accept or decline their offer, about 10 days. To my inconvenience, I received another offer literally the day before thanksgiving break. Immediately upon receiving the other offer, I countered Lockheed to negotiate a higher salary. To further my inconvenience, my deadline to respond to Lockheed was literally the day after Thanksgiving Day (still nobody in office). I was frantically trying to figure out whether or not I should accept the original offer or risk neither accepting or declining the original offer and wait for a counter. I ended up doing the latter. The scary part is, when the deadline expired, the offer was gone. I spent that weekend panicking. Fortunately, some reassurance was when Monday rolled around, they asked for proof of my other offer. However, it's been a week since the HR has said anything to me.
My question is: Because I neither accepted or declined the original offer, is there a possibility that HR will revoke my offer entirely?
