It means you aren’t the hot shit you think you are. The fact that you had to come post this here indicates the recruiter is probably right.

I mean, come ON. Are you clueless?

OP, ignore these people. Hold the line and demand the comp you require to make the move.

I've had recruiters tell me the same. Thank them and move on. Don't waste your time with opportunities that don't meet your requirements.

Bingo!

This. Let them move onto the next candidate, or they will negotiate with you. Don't make a move that will result in resentment.

Yep. OP is most likely a woman and should know her place, amirite? Keep quiet and accept what is offered to her. A woman negotiating salary? What will happen next? Women driving and having a separate checking account?

What do people think of recruiters in today's market? Are they helpful or hurtful? I feel like they don't really do much and often complicate things rather than just working directly with an employer. Maybe if moving out of state? Otherwise, why would you need a recruiter for the line of work you know best? It also makes it more uncomfortable working directly with the employer or employee because everything has to go through this middle man.

They seem a little bit like realtors to me. You could use them, but you could also just work directly with the seller or buyer.

Not a fan of recruiters in current market - or ever. Best to work directly with the company but that’s starting to be more rare.

This is OP. I declined the offer. They really weren’t going to support me and my family in any meaningful way in our move, and whether or not it would have been a good move wasn’t worth the salary.

I was able to leverage the offer to get the same offer locally, and I’ll be starting there in two weeks.

Thanks all.
