I just got a job offer for $62k, where the recruiter originally said they were offering $65k. Background info: I was interviewing for a senior role with ~$70k salary but was informed that another candidate was further along the interview process and has accepted, so I had the option to interview for the non senior role. How much more should I realistically ask for now that I did get the offer? And how?

Sounds like that recruiter wants to take a $3K cut on top of whatever finder’s fee the agency will pay her/him for hiring you.

Tell them you want $65K as originally communicated to you. Also, try to find the job post on the company’s LinkedIn page “Jobs” subhead and send the link showcasing the $65k being listed.

Recruiters get a % of the salary they hire, not the amount they save the company lol 🤦🏽

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange!

Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
