Okay, fair enough. So I go to the interview. At the end of the interview I ask the HR person, "what range are you looking to pay?". I get the same answer of we have to pull numbers and this and that but what you are asking for is within our range. Again, fair enough.
Today I get an offer 10% below what I stated as my minimum accepted and told that is the highest they can go because the position is that and not that.
So I'm kinda like, WTF happened to "within range"? I asked twice on two separate occasions what they were looking to pay and both times I was lead to believe what I stated as a minimum was close to an acceptable level. I understand coming in initially below my stated minimum but this sounds kinda shitty, really.
Worth negotiating? I do want the position but I am not hurting nor in desperate need for it either.

The 10% diff is in their range
