This is not the company being generous to you. This is a recruiter who knows that if they accepted such a low ball offer you would quit as soon as you googled the average salary for your role. They still want you to make a low-ball offer, but something closer to the average.
- neilv 3y agoAlso, if it's a third-party recruiter, they want to feed a stream of generic candidates, and at a good commission each (so one oddball with too-low requirements only hurts both)?
- dilyevsky 3y agoRecruiter at bigco dgaf what happens after you sign the offer. More likely it was just company policy - they have more or less rigid pay bands for each level and TP was outside of those.
- armada651 3y agoRight, but that company policy is there for a reason. Not out of generosity, but because they don't want to invest time and money into people who are likely to quit over a compensation that is so far below the average.
- dilyevsky 3y agoWe're not disagreeing - I'm just providing more context because I know some folks (lets be real here - it's pretty much all of them) like to spin it like they're looking out for the candidate when this happens obviously to improve the closing odds. It's basically "good cop/bad cop" routine.
