Having a bad experience with an Accenture recruiter. He’s pressuring for me to give a number. I don’t want to paint myself in corner and want to hear an offer from him first but he won’t budge

Give a range, with your reach goal at the bottom. Paint a concrete number. For illustration, it’s a lot easier to argue with “150k-170k” than it is to argue with “148,970-172,240”. It’s a mental thing. Then the recruiter will then try to reach your bottom or will meet you in the middle of your range... it’s not guaranteed, but these are proven strategies.

At any rate, silence and open ended questions are a Greta way to get the recruiter to negotiate with herself to increase your comp. Look up a summary of Never Split the Difference. Great read if you have time.

Yes, I recently did some reading about this!

Is Accenture still hiring right now? My offer was put on hold.

I think that will be giving away self identifiable info

You need to know what you think you’re worth and be prepared with that.

Just give a range

Doesn’t surprise me. If you need help coming up with a # message me

I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
