During salary negotiations for a new job, is the recruiter allocated a budget or is it based on the partner’s discretion? Just curious if the partner hiring is one reviewing my counteroffer.

There are typically ranges recruiters know of. However rule of thumb is if you give a number first, you lose.

Not if you aren't holding all the cards. If they say the number first, one if it's drastically lower than you want, it's telling, two if they say a number that's interesting, negotiate up and see what you can work with. They normally don't shoot too far under.

Partner.

Partner / hiring manager. HR is just middleman.

Depends on the firm. If it's a firm with a cohort model, the partner generally has no say. If it's not a cohort model, then usually the recruiter has a standard range and the partner can go above it at their discretion.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be.
