I'm an employer, and we're open with recruiters about our limits. I bet you passed the limit the employer was willing to pay.

It would’ve behooved the recruiter to at least mention that the pay he was asking for was above the limit.

As a candidate, I don't want to prematurely limit myself on comp at the intake portion of the conversion funnel. So, the recruiter might mention a number, and I'll think to myself "that plus Y%" would do it for me. But I have no reason to say that. Who knows, maybe "that plus Y+Z%" is the firm's real upper limit. So it can't be the fault of recruiter, but also, it would be unwise for me too early on.

I could give an absolute minimum, but that would be an anchor I don't want to be tied to.
