Just got an email from a recruiter whose offer I declined asking me for the company I ended up going with and the TC package. Is this standard recruiting? Should I answer?

It’s for their records so they have data to anchoring their offers against.

You have no obligation to respond.

Information is power. Unless you owe the recruiter something, no need to share sensitive information.

Actually mention 100% so that they step up their game and increase wages

Not only mention, but stretch the number. Just keep it broad and say TC is X. But when you calculate X, include the max bonus you could earn, include 401k matches, include maximum savings you could get through ESPP, include estimated Healthcare costs the employer is paying for…that kinda stuff.

But then it’s going be super inflated…
