I first met with a brilliant recruiter via video call. They knew exactly what to ask and where to challenge.

After 55 minutes, everything was positive and great. Then, we discussed my salary expectations. Spotify offers competitive salaries, and the recruiter wanted to know my current salary to make a "good" offer. However, my salary was obviously much higher, and things changed.

The job position no longer existed. I was redirected to a more junior recruiter for a "lower" job position. She had no information from the previous recruiter, so I had to repeat myself. Consequently, the salary could not match my expectations.

Specific questions about past experiences.
