[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I discussed my offer for a senior IC role with the recruiter today.  The role would require relocation.  I asked about an increase in both salary and what they’re offering for relocation.  He intimated that if I were in a higher-status role the negotiation would be easier/ a no brainer, but seemed to indicate my asking was an inconvenience and/or out-of-line.  Obviously I didn’t really feed into his intimations but is this a red flag or a normal recruiter response?[/quote]

Is the recruiter in-house or outside company?  I sweart 1 in 10 recruiters has functioning brain cells.  Most are terrible at their jobs and seem to enjoy wielding some sort of power over applicants.

I would speak to the hiring manager if at all possible.  If not, just hold the line and be polite and pleasant.  The recruiter is probably either lazy or incentivized to drive your salary lower—or both.  It has nothing to do with whether you think you’re “hot shit” or not as the other PPs said.  Of course you want to negotiate the highest salary, especially if you have to move.  Only you can decide how hard you want to push though.[/quote]

ETA: No functioning brain cells.  Outside recruiters tend to be much better in my experience.[/quote]
