I think consensus is Jan / Feb are among the best times to apply and get hired. Everyone’s back from the holiday and new budgets are in effect. By contrast Nov / Dec are among the worst. Hard to move the process forward with so many OOOs and holidays.

This is all within the context of a weaker hiring environment overall.

Had a salary discussion with headhunter, who really lowballed me and told that the employer is not going to pay more than X.
The final interview is scheduled for tomorrow should I be expecting any salary negotiation during the final interview or after or is the number that I informally agreed to with a headhunter is set in stone?
How bad is it if I refuse to accept the offer? Will I be banned from working with that headhunting firm?
