I've heard of that strategy before. It's like the "what part of minimum is it I need to explain to you?"

I've traveled my ass off. Worked 80 hour weeks. Been on call with no comp. And still been stiffed while they employed worthless new hires for for twice what they were paying me. I'll never take a job again for less than what I need/want. I ask myself: If I never get a raise again, is this enough compensation for me and my family? If the answer is no, I won't take the job. Like previously said, you will never have as much bargaining power as you have right now. |

It depends on where you are in life but Salary isn't your only compensation. It's possible they feel they are in range w/ benefits.

1. You told me twice that what I was asking for was "within range". 2. You tell me the low offer is because the position is for A and not B. #2 is the part that pisses me off. As if they didn't know what the position was to begin with? It's like, how ****ing stupid do you think I am? The entire "within range" part is the disappointing part of it. I'm sitting here thinking "within range" means you can meet it or beat it. Not you can come in 10% below. |

While I agree they probably do feel that way. Generally when someone asks you what you are wanting to pay and you respond with "well, I haven't nailed it down but what you are asking for is within my range that I am willing to pay", it means you are with range of the salary. That is why they ask for your "minimum accepted salary".

Ask them for a stand up desk, an inflatable ball chair, and an ashtray for you to set your cigar down in occasionally during the work day
Really confuse them |

I have no doubts that they didn't intend to waste my time. But when a person asks twice what the pay range is and the response is "your minimum is within our range" then I expect an offer no less than the minimum you told me was within your range.

If you're an external hire, it's possible they moved an internal candidate into that slot and you are now applying for their job (PJM1 vs. PJM2) for example. If you really want to work for that company, by all means counter offer them.
