[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the roles stated range and what are you asking?

The the relocation to a lower COL area or higher?[/quote]

The range posted was the minimum to middle of the range; I was offered a salary at the mid-point, but its lower than my most recent salary.

Similar COL.[/quote]

This is important information.  If the offer you've received is *lower* than your current pay, I think you can simply state that. Are you willing to walk away if they don't budge? You should think about that before you negotiate.

Also, my org pays new grads coming out of college $10K for relocation so your relo incentive seems really stingy for an experienced hire at the level you're describing. You could push there, too.

External recruiters are incentivized to fill roles, not to lowball candidates and force them to accept. I think you can say to your recruiter something like....  "I am excited about this position and appreciate all your help thus far in the process. There are a couple of items in the offer for which I would like to ask for additional consideration. I'm just not comfortable accepting this role for less pay than I'm currently earning, and with a relocation allowance that would not cover all my costs leaving me to pay out of pocket for the rest. This is not an economically good decision for me as the offer currently stands."

The posted range for the role is meant to represent the full range for the position, not just the starting salary. Coming in at the mid-point is actually a good place to start. But this doesn't mean you can't ask for more, especially given your current salary and the need to relocate.[/quote]
