I'm not answering your question, but these headhunters are rarely valuable for someone like you. You're better off exploring through your network, recruiters, etc.

Retail? Bad industry right now

It might be helpful if you named the company the headhunter works for. A lot of these guys just spam companies with resumes hoping to collect a fee if one hits. You really don't want to link up with one of them. If it's a legit retained search firm, that's a totally different story. I'd ask for 30%+bonus, +stock. You can always come down. But also, avoid comp discussions too early. Make sure it's a good fit for both of you, then comp has a way of working itself out.

Standard for retained executive search firms is to put you in roles with at least a 20% total comp increase. That said, a lot of companies will expect you to lateral or take a downgrade for improvement in "lifestyle." If thats the case, tell them nicely to fuck off.

I’m struggling to find a full time job right now. I have 16 months of internship experience at a Big4, a 4 month internship at a well known bank and a 12 month internship at a boutique consulting firm.

My gpa is subpar (3.2/4.0) but I have strong extracurriculars and have been working full time while taking full time classes.
