> "take it or leave it" up front
I have also encountered this - salary negotiation with HR/recruiter at first contact. This was before any interviews or coding tests, at a point when I only had the vague job posting as a guide for the role. There seemed to be two filters: a remoteness/WFH/RTO test; and a low-ball salary bludgeon.
As Groucho Marx almost said, I'm very glad I don't work for a company like that :)
- thrwaway1985882 3y agoMe too. My company isn't that bad – yet?. But in 2022 I remember employees regularly countering on the offer and squeezing out significant %age increases to base. Now the offer is the offer. Could be worse, I guess. Other managers I've talked to have said that their organizations are actively running the numbers on salary cuts to "normalize" wages after things heated up so much in 21-22.
