On one hand, they may go slightly lower to save their client money, on the other hand they might go higher to get you into the interview stage. Anyone know how their estimates are like?
I went back and forth emailing a recruiter who reached out to me. I asked comp range and he said we can discuss over the phone. Finally we were able to get on the phone and when comp came up I told him I was making $125k...he said oh...uhh yeah this is for not $125k (much lower). Just thought it was a funny story since we emailed for 2 weeks.
Sharing your current comp is generally a bad move
I've never had someone go lower than we initially talked about, although I've been offered the bottom of that range. I have had a recruiter swear to me he couldn't go any higher and, when I got a higher offer, say that money wasn't an issue for them and they could match it, even though my offer was 15% higher than his supposed ceiling. I don't know which was the lie because I took the other offer.
I had my recruiter lie to me and a colleague about the recruiters “notes.”
The recruiter read from a script that knocked 15% of our asking ranges.
