I originally said I'd be ok with a range x to x+5k
(apparently, I'd forgotten I said that) but when talking to the HR lady I said X+5k to X+10k.

Recruiter thinks around X+5k is the most they'd pay and they might consider me greedy. It was, I admit, a clumsyish ruse to make sure I got X+5 rather than X.

Flexible I think
I said I'm obviously prepared to negotiate - and listed some factors like relocation and my current good pension vs their no pension - but I'm thinking of X+5k to X+10k.

So it may all work out, or they might go with somebody else on that basis alone. I think I passed on all the other criteria.

It's a long time (10 years plus in a far softer market) since I did any recruiting
But in those days we'd look at skills first, look at what we'd pay for the ability and slap the best candidate down to an acceptable pay bracket regardless of what they were asking.

Things are probably different now.
