This is a classic bait and switch strategy that recruiters use. They have contracts for 3-4 "sexy" 1M+ positions open, so they dangle them in front of you to entice you into a conversation. Once they have you on the phone, they ask you for a resume they can send around to all of their entry-level positions.

IMO these recruiters are a big waste of time.

I always start with, "The job posting mentioned $1M/year. I'm flexible, I'll work with you. I'll consider 50% of that."

I usually just say "I'd be interested, please feel free to make an intro and I'd be happy to take it from there. Thanks!"
