This has just happened to me. I was offered the job and then said I would love to join, but the salary wasnt higher enough.
I was told that was the deal as that was what finance had set the bar at. I asked the recruiter to have a chat with finance.
I was then asked to come back in and interview again(even though they offered me the role), but this time with finance. I basically pitched in saying that I was more experienced and hence could take a role with more responsibilities.
As this was true, it seems to have worked as we are still negotiating and they had indiciated to me that they would undertake a small re-org to change the role.
But this has taken a week longer than expected and so I am still applying elsewhere in case it falls through.
I'd love to work for this company but as I was dropping 35K a year to work for them on the original package I feel that I must negotiate or otherwise I'lll have to take a contract role.
BTW. Any contract role I am in for would be more than the perm role, but I like the company/technology and still working on my longer term career plan. A contract at the moment would be a step back.
