long story short: 1. went thro final interviews with a non-faang, positive feedback (“strongest candidate”) 2. communciated current employers general range when asked about expectations (not Kaiser) 3. external recruiter who ive been working with communciated that with their HR 4. silence from their HR 5. recruiter feels that their HR misinterpreted and is concerned about it as they see it as unattainable 6. recruiter encouraged me to reach out to their HM directly (i havent done it) i really want this role (great fit for me and career) and never said they need to match. what should i do?? would it seem unprofessional if i follow the recruiters advice (reach out to HM directly)?
He’s been working with them for many years as a note. Not sure if that changes anything.
You can be totally transparent with the external recruiter. He wants to make the sale, get him to chat with the HM and negotiate for you or to let them know you are negotiable depending on the total benefits, etc.
So what is the misinterpretation that happened with HR? They asked for a salary range, and you provided one. It seems to me that they understood it.

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
What does this recruiter do for a living. If they think you should speak with the HM, they should schedule that call for you. Ask the recruiter to do that.
He’s a recruiter, and has been trying to get an straight answer from HR. He thinks me reaching out to the HM directly via LI is a good idea.
Don’t do that ever. If at all you are going to join that team, having TC talks may ruin your image in front of the HM.
