So I finished my 3rd interview with a company and the TA specialist said they loved me but can’t meet me at my bottom line salary, however, I said I can negotiate and she said she’s going to speak with the decision makers and see if they’re okay with that. What does this mean? This is for a marketing specialist role. I’m asking for $70K bottom line

Does this company have a GlassDoor presence so you can check what the salary range for their Marketing Specialists is? That might give insight into what they usually give and/or if they’re jerking you around. I think the fact that the recruiter didn’t outright turn you down and is trying to negotiate for you is a good sign.

Marketing specialist in my field is at 70k tops so I can see it being justified. It’s basically the next step from a coordinator from my experience.

It means there's an okay chance they might give you that but I wouldn't be surprised if you end up receiving a counter offer

My guess would be that you're about tor receive an offer lower than what you asked for. Would you still be open to working with them for less?

So they let me know that with my experience, their role is too entry level right now and they have another position they think I would be better for but they don’t have a team built out yet. They said they don’t want me to be in a role where I’ll be bored in as they’ve seen that happen to too many people and they leave /:

Oh wow that's tough, did they offer you any kind of timeline for that new job?

I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.
