Is anyone here a recruiter and can shed some light as to why the hell these people are so adamant about getting my salary??? If the company is willing to pay €80k, and you were on €50k, then they can offer you €60k and tell you how great it is that you got a €10k raise! It's all a way for them to pay you les.
