Do recruiters always try to lowball you with their first offer?

Yeah. Its called a negotiation.

Pretty much. They expect a counteroffer, so they have to start lower so there's room for negotiation.

Not always, but usually. They have a job to do which is recruit you for the lowest dollar they can. Of course they are trying to save the company money. Negotiate for more.

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks
