RE: Did I overreact?

Part of the problem is I think is that there are employers out there
that don't have a clue what a TW is paid, especially ones hiring their
first TW.

Exactly. Are we SO sensitive about our credibility that we are
outraged if anyone should have the temerity to even think that we'd
stoop so low?

Recruiter throws out a number ($24). We throw out an alternative
($50). The recruiter will probably say no...the difference is too
wide. OTOH, maybe ups the number ($30). We either say yes, no, or we
throw out another number ($45). The first time someone says "No,
sorry, bye", the call is over.

Why get insulted?
