Before interviewing for an entry level role at a well known agency, the recruiter mentioned the salary in case it is a non-starter.

It’s 10% lower than current TC… is there usually wiggle room here?

Will I be beat out by others willing to take it?

If they mentioned it up front in case it’s a non-starter, you probably don’t have a lot of wiggle room. Most agencies don’t leave a lot of room for negotiation for entry level roles.

No wiggle room! OP, I promise you…

It doesnt hurt trying…

I wouldn’t say that’s true, WS1. If they told OP up front what the salary is and they go through the interview process and decline the salary, they’ve wasted everyone’s time, including their own. OP, unless it’s a job you’re willing to take a pay cut for, tell the recruiter that the salary is significantly lower then you’re making and and ask if there’s any wiggle room to go up.

Hey, I am an art director who just graduated from Miami ad school. And I am looking for new opportunities. Please hit me up if you have any vacancies.

Context: I've been at my agency for over three years (five and half years total since I'm a boomerang), leading the strategy team for a high growth and high pride account for two of those years. My agency has generously increased my salary by $4k last year and gave me spot bonuses totalling $6k to recognize my hard work, but I'm still on the lower end of the salary range for my title (under $130k) and not matching the rate of inflation for NYC. My question continues in the comments.

What’s the general consensus:

When a company throws up the exact same job post that has appeared before and is still live (and potentially even exists in multiples beyond just two), should this be taken as an indicator that there is more than one opportunity for a given role, or is this essentially the LinkedIn recruitment version of “bump?”
