Recruiter contacted me about a BD role in the building materials industry. I said I would need a compensation plan around $120k to leave my current role and was told that wasn’t an issue.

However, after learning about their bonus plan (40% of base), the math isn’t mathing. The base salary listed in the job description maxes out at $75k. 1.4 X 75 is nowhere close to $120.

I’m expecting an offer this week. How do I politely tell them I’ll walk if the offer is less than 120?

Question: since August last year, the same recruiter at a mid-size agency has asked me about freelance gigs maybe 4 or 5 times......continued:

Hi Friends,

I have total 11 years of experience in IT (Enterprise applications:Oracle Weblogic) and 4 years in DevOps, Git, Google Cloud, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes. Currently working with Accenture India. I have been trying for almost a month in LinkedIn (applying for jobs as directly messaging recruiters) for opportunities in London, however not getting any positive response/interview calls.

If anyone working in UK can refer me in their organization, would be really helpful

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low).

How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
