Big 4 Discussion - June 27, 2018

This is regarding post initial offer from a big4.

I was offered (in email, offer letter) a FT position (senior) last week. I made a counter offer next day, and the recruiter said he'd get back after talking to the Eng. Manager, this was Fri last week. I haven't heard back since, dead silence. I emailed yesterday morning for a follow up and still no response.

Should I follow up by a phone call or wait it out? A detail to this is that I gave an impression that I am kind of desperate for this position, rather than go for another offer I have, because of the location preference. does this change anything?

The Hiring manager ( engineering manager who I met onsite) is on Linkedin. Is it out of line to contact him on Linkedin, in case I don't get a reply by the end of this week?
