Question: when talking to recruiters for the first time for a job you really want and they mention a salary range lower than your expectations do you tell them it’s low or wait for the offer and negotiate?

Don’t waste your time or theirs. Tell them you’re not willing to consider the role for that salary..they’ll be able to advise if there’s room for negotiation or not at that point.

I am upfront about it. If my ask is not in range, I don’t want to go through 4-6 interviews.

you don’t have to say their range is too low or does not meet your expectations etc. just say your desired range like x to y and stop. let them respond with something like - we can pay z and see what they change to. At least they now understand your expectations. If z is not in the x to y range, do not do any further interviews or conversations etc. if they still keep asking, again say same - my desired range is from x to y. they will understand that you will not budge..

Hi ! I have gotten an offer via email for what I believe is level 9 data visualization specialist in the dc area. I have a masters and 3.5 years of consulting experience. I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
