If you’re on LinkedIn, the chances are you’ve received a message or two from a recruiter. But this story shared on the Anti Work subreddit shows what happens when a headhunter is unable to not only match your current salary, but offer even half of it.
“I got a message on LinkedIn asking to apply for a new position,” the Redditor wrote, adding that the position turned out to be similar to what he does now, except it includes “more responsibility” and “more seniority.”
It was time for the money talk. “He said he was delighted to tell me they had just raised the salary bracket in this position to 34-38k a year,” the author recounted. The only problem was that he was making 78k a year, excellent working terms included.
This is when the recruiter reached up his sleeve to come up with convincing arguments he thought would prove his job offer was not to be missed. Let’s see how it turned out below.
Recently, a person shared how this recruiter tried convincing him to take a job offer for less than half of his current salary because he’s ‘overpaid’
