2 remote technical interviews and on site interview for soft skills. Passed all they gave positive feedback but looking for a team in the company to hire me. One team interviewed again. Did not hear from them since.

Phone screening, after that interview with two developers. The interview with the developers was very pleasant and I have no remarks in that part. However I had negative experience with the recruiter who led the process. I got positive feedback on the technical interview, and two weeks after that I was asked about the salary expectations. I had already presented my salary expectations in the first screening interview, so I just repeated them. Then I was told it was too much for them, and I should contact them if I wanted to discuss further. I really liked the company so I said I would be willing to go lower and asked what was their offer. Instead of that, I got somewhat arrogant response how people should be paid in a far way and they cannot advise me what to ask in terms of pay ???? I don't know what their expectations are when it comes to salary, since I basically asked for the same amount I already have at my current workplace and I think it's normal for the IT industry. I believe there were many ways to handle the salary dispute, moreover since I had already presented my expectations during the screening interview. However the recruiter choose a very poor approach. Too bad for a company like this,
