So I got contacted by a recruiter and we had a talk about new job offers. We had a good talk about my skills and send my CV. He also asked me how much I would like to earn on a monthly basis. With my skills I thought I should be worth around €3000
(I currently get paid €2250
and this is my first job). So I said that it would be great if he found something around €3000
.
A few days pass and I get called by the recruiter. He has send my CV to a few companies and these companies are very interested in hiring me. Great so the next thing he did was send me an e-mail with the jobs and a link to their website where the job offer is described. It shows what exactly I have to do and the required skills for it. Most of the skills shown I have in my pocket. However the next thing that shows up is that the salary for this job is from €3800
- €5000
. For a different company I also have most of the skills needed and they show a salary from €3500
- €4500
.
They are 15-30% higher than what I asked for.
I am afraid my recruiter only found these companies because my salary that I asked is lower than someone who would otherwise ask for a higher salary.
Should I ask my recruiter that I wish to work for the amount they described in their job offer? Is it okay for me to even ask that?
