Two years ago, I applied via a recruiter, and made my position clear about my salary expectations.
It was a 30 minutes video call, followed by a test to design a system, which took me around 8 hours to finish (I used sequence diagrams and detailed documentation).
After that it was a meet and greet interview for 45 minutes and I asked for another 30 minutes to ask questions and understand the expectations.
I received an offer few days later, 30% less of what I asked for! I immediately told the recruiter I lost my interest even when they increased the offer to be close to what I have asked for.
- simonbarker87 5y agoI had this last year, came in about the same amount lower. I said no, expressed my annoyance that the recruiter had wasted my time. They came back at 15% less, I said no again. They then said “ok you’re too expensive” I replied with “no problem, I understand you have a budget limitation, I hope you find what you’re looking for soon”. 2 weeks later they come back 20% over what I asked for, had accepted another role by then and said “no, next time, just offer what’s asked”
