Negotiating a salary can be scary at first. When you’ve never done it before, it can feel like you’re overstepping a boundary of professionalism before you’ve even begun your new job. «Hello, person I don’t know very well. Can I please have $10,000 more dollars than you want to give me?»  In most positions, negotiation is a normal part of the process. Nobody will rescind your offer because you have the gall to ask for a couple thousand more dollars. Well, almost nobody. 

Before getting a job offer, discussing and understanding job titles and benefits with the recruiter is normal. Unfortunately, some recruiters are sneaky and offer applicants a different title than the one on the job posting. Other recruiters refuse to discuss any benefits of the job before an applicant signs on. One Redditor has the displeasure of working with a recruiter who did both of these things and, in turn, rescinded their offer.
