Isn’t recruiter supposed to help salary negotiation or some questions inquiry? I got a recruiter who asked me to negotiate/ask questions all on my own behalf. And the recruiter also said typically people don’t have that many questions for HR before accepting offers (suggesting I asked too many)? And people don’t usually reach out to other people in the team/firm to get some info regarding work until already onboard? I don’t think this was anything like my previous experience.

Sounds like a lazy recruiter who just wants to finish and get paid.

Yeah I got a bit confused. And the recruiter was always hesitant to inquire more and then suggested I had too many questions for HR. So for salary, I did it myself…also during my previous job hunting/pre-onboard, I was always encouraged even by employer to talk to people who worked/had worked there. But apparently to my recruiter I’m doing something not ok or I’m risking my offer.

I’ve never discussed salary with the firm when working with a recruiter.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
