Just got referred to a job interview by an acquaintance at a tech company.
The recruiter says they pay $70k total…after a performance bonus. So the base pay is probably more like $60k.
The top tech company in the area pays $70k base.
So how do I get that $70k base that the top company on the area is offering?
I’ve only talked to the recruiter so far. Still have hiring manager and etc. to speak with.
I’m thinking maybe lie about having a competing offer?
