Is he trying to ******** me? Or my expected package is really off the mark?
I found myself in the same position as you. I told the recruiter that I won't accept less since I'm consistently getting a 17-18 month package for the past few years. This would translate into a 50-60% monthly increase if salary is calculated over 12 months for the role I was applying for. Recruiter relented and I was selected for the interview... now waiting for the outcome.
