Ignore their nonsense statement

Ask for what you will be willing to accept... if they aren’t willing to come close than move on

Agreed. They have their limits and you should have yours.

I’d ask for more. 100k won’t go far out there.

There is the recruiter then there is the hiring manager. I’d attempt to have a casual conversation with the hiring manager regarding your value and the salary you’re looking for. It might truly be non-negotiable(meaning they’re just not willing to negotiate for you), but I’d respectfully try all avenues before conceding.

Thanks for the info! What’s MPK and did you negotiate or was this the offer? And what kind of role?

I'd take it!

OP were you able to re-negotiate? I would at least get a relocation $$

It is true.

I have been offered a job at KPMG within cyber security in the uk. Originally it was a 25% hike offer.

Seen Lot of negative comments about KPMG. Any thoughts ?
