#JobInterview #SalaryNegotiation #KnowYourWorth
Hey there! Have you ever purposefully tanked a job interview because they tried to lowball you on salary? 🤔 I recently had a similar experience and decided to stand my ground. Here’s how it went down:
– Applied for a job with a certain salary range in mind.
– During the interview, they offered me a lower amount than what was initially discussed.
– I cheekily responded by saying I would only put in the effort corresponding to the lower salary offered.
While it may not have been the best approach, it felt good to assert my worth. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it?
One possible solution in these situations is to research industry standards beforehand and be prepared to negotiate confidently. Remember, you deserve fair compensation for your skills and experience! 💪 #SalaryNegotiationTips #CareerAdvice
Telling liars to fuck right off even if only metaphorically can feel great. I am not a fan of the “switch a roo” games.
I’d honestly take it a step further and tell them whoever they pick will be lying to them and doing the low end work if they pay someone that. Employment is a two way street and I’m sick of workers constantly being taken advantage of.
Thank you! May there be many more like-minded folks behind you!
I’m sort of semi-retired, have a job in the field for about half what I used to make. I do exactly what I hired on to do. Every time they try to add on a new task I’m like “nah I’m good”. You want me to do someone else’s job then give me their pay too.
I love everything about your very honest reply.
I had a job string me along for 2 months. On the 3rd interview I was pretty blazed. Never heard from them after that. Waste my time and I’ll waste yours.
You are my hero
My partner just got a new job at a new company since her current place is circling the drain due to incompetence. Her boss recently quit before she left, and they wanted her to take over for her boss.
First, they wanted her to interview for the position while already covering the work plus her own. Second, they were offering less than she was currently making in the internal job listing.
As she already had the offer, she decided to do the interview, just to hear their offer, offer an outrageous counteroffer, and see how it all went.
They were basically flabbergasted with her attitude during the interview since she is usually pretty passive. They said they would need time to discuss raising the pay. The next day, she turned in her resignation.
I don’t even care if this is made up it still brightened my day
Fuck em.
You really showed them
You’re my hero today!
They tell you that you’re capable of X work, but get upset when you promise to deliver X work.
On paper, I wasn’t really qualified for my current job and I kind of low-balled my range. But I had the ability to handle aspects of the job and learned most of what I needed to know over time. Also, my pay is now pretty fair.
I had the opportunity to learn at my previous job before it went sideways. I wish more employers would try to let people grow into the job.
I Am about to get back into the workforce with a degree and I am 100% prepared to not only just get up and leave low ball offrrs, I am prepared to fucking leave when they try to play the “what’s you salery expectation” game.
Tell me what you are willing to pay or I just leave, you ain’t getting my number first.
Good job! This makes me happy.
Good for you man, not only did they play with your money but they’re also playing with your time.
Went through 7 interviews once and numerous times they confirmed the salary requirements I set fourth only for them to come in $10k light.
I immediately declined and they were bewildered and did everything to get me to accept except raise the salary 😂
F’em
There’s an old joke about a welder going in for a job interview. Sees the price range. Gets the “show a sample weld” assignment.
Comes back with 2 welds, one – okay. will meet standard. two – well now, weld number two is a work of art as well as being a solid weld.
Interviewee asks: What’s with the two welds? Guy says: Weld # 1 is if you pay me the low end. Weld #2 is if you pay the high end.
😀
You’re my hero
Minimum pay, minimum effort, this is the way! Good work, OP!
They should add “LOL JK” next to the high number.
Waste your time, waste their time. Simple
Hell yeah. Congrats for standing up for yourself.
