It was ridicolous. A recruiter offered me a position as director in operations. I accepted to have interviews for that position, so I had one with some head of something. At the end, I was offered a position two levels below the initially offered level with a far lower salary, so I declined and I was fine with that. After less than one week, I was contacted again by the recruiter on behalf of the company, asking me if I was interested in a position higher than the one offered but lower than the one originally proposed. So I went for this (unsolicited by myself) interviews. The result was that I was offered the same level offered (despite I have got something like 10 years in the field, slightly more than a junior level) and a lower salary compared to the one which was originally offered for the same associate position.
