My first experience being recruited: I have a LinkedIn profile that lists "open to new opportunities" at the top because, well, it's true. That said, I do freelance writing & low-scale web design on the side to get by, so I'm not desperate for work. The opposite, in fact. I have long-term plans to go to graduate school in Fall 2015 regardless. A recruiter from the Judge group connects with me and writes that she is finding technical writers for JP Morgan Chase, which has an office in my city. We talk over the phone and can't agree on a pay rate. I wasn't sure of the relationship between this recruiter and JP Morgan Chase - I had no idea a recruiter would negotiate an hourly wage with me for a 1-year contracted position. Anyway, I'm happy to give more information, but can anyone offer some insight on this process? We left it at a standoff - I wasn't willing to proceed below my desired pay rate, and she wasn't willing to go above hers. At one point she "had to talk to her supervisor" and bumped the offer by $1.50/hr, which reminded me of the buying process at a car dealership. Is this all normal?
