×
It’s the first number they gave you

Recruiters routinely open below their ceiling. The first offer is almost never the final offer.

×
It’s a suspiciously round number

£50k, $100k, €80k — these are placeholders, not benchmarked figures. They have room.

×
They offered quickly without asking about your current salary

Fast offers without anchoring questions often mean the band is wide and they guessed low.

×
It’s below the midpoint for your experience band

If your offer sits at or below the 40th percentile for your role and city, you’re being underpaid before you even start.
