This happened to me at a F50 and I was not happy. But sometimes recruiters just get numbers wrong

No it would be a red flag if they told you while they were extending an offer. This is them screwing up and being as transparent as possible

Happened to me for several roles. Seems like a common occurrence from recruiters. I have used that discrepancy to negotiate a bigger signing bonus. Good luck!

It does happen or the recruiter was given a range and they did not communicate the range appropriately to you based on your years of experience. Easy enough to wait for an offer than negotiate up or as other mentioned look for signing bonus, relocation, or equity as ways to make up the difference so total comp is in line with your expectations / desired level.

Asking advice from a recruiter: I’ve been recently laid off :( This week I took some time to reflect, talk to friends and family. I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?

Just curious, for others who transitioned in house from a firm, when did you fully realize/appreciate the benefits of your transition? I moved about six months ago and it’s taken some time to adjust, but I think I’m finally getting there. I have to laugh at how “busy” everyone claims to be all the time, clearly no where near law firm levels of busy. Just wondering what the light bulb moment was for others to think “yup, this is what I’d always been looking for.”
