I asked for more money for a senior accountant role and have received a lot of push back. I have been firm with my decision and the recruiter called me today to set up an interview with the CFO. And then threw in the fun fact that there are two other applicants that are willing to take the money offered. Are recruiters always this annoying?

How much more money were you asking for? I wouldn't want to work for a place that is going to quibble over a few thousand bucks per year.

Also, even if you win this battle, you may lose the war if they recoup the concessions they make today with your future comp.

EY4 - Sure, there are valid business reasons why this employer couldn't meet OP's comp requirements. They could just say so and it's no harm, no foul.

However, leveraging other candidates as a way to pressure OP into accepting a lower offer is classless and unprofessional. That's where the sin is.

Find a new recruiter. They are supposed to work for your best interests. My opinion would be to not leave (unless your current job is that miserable). Wait until you get what you want. Don’t settle when you are changing companies.

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?
