25 Signs That A Job Is Absolutely Awful That You Can Pick Up On In The Interview


9.

“When they try to offer you a salary that’s lower than what they posted. Like, the job ad says $50k-70k, but they try to offer you $40k.”

“This happened to me in 2021 when I interviewed for a Project Manager role at my wife’s company (albeit in a completely different division than her).

During the HR screen, I stated my requested salary was $95K, $10K over what I earned at the time. The HR person said that was no problem and passed me on to the next stage. I interviewed with the potential hiring manager and then had a two-hour panel interview with my potential colleagues.

Everything went well, and they extended me an offer. That offer was for $75K, $20K LESS than what I asked for and was agreed upon. This was also $10K LESS than what I earned at my job at the time. There was no way in hell I was willing to take a pay cut, especially since I didn’t need to.

When pressed on the sudden decrease in salary, their HR gave me some nonsense excuse about ‘band level equity’ and ‘unknown budgetary constraints.'”
