Spoke with a recruiter about their project and company history. The recruiter seemed impressed with my experience and asked what compensation I'd be expecting. Let them know I understood European salaries were lower than American ones so I'm open to hearing the range they're looking for. Recruiter kept pressing for an amount, saying it wouldn't affect if they moved forward with me or not. I shared the hourly rate range I usually work in. Received a rejection email the next day.
