If they really want you, they’ll make it work. I priced a notoriously lowball agency at $120-$140k for a senior role, knowing damn well they wouldn’t match it.
They came in at $125k. Still turned it down but shoot for what you believe you’re worth.
What market is this? I’m Chicago you’d be lucky to get $100k for a Senior role
You should be fine! For the future something I like to say though if I am giving a number (which I rarely do ) but if I’m at that stage I’ll always say it like “I was looking for something closer to x, but can be flexible for the right opportunity so I still want to keep learning more about what this role entails”
Adding to ACD1, whenever the conversation comes up, always ask them the range of what the position is budgeted for.
I'm senior at 180. Shoot for the moon. 🚀
Also should mention the recruiter reached out to me about the role, I didn’t apply to it on my own.
Mentor
Headhunter or internal recruiter?
Agreed. External recruiters make money by you getting hired so they'd let you know if it's above what they were told the budget is,or ask if it's negotiable.
