A job posting listed a range of $70k–$110k which admittedly is quite large. I said $95k in the screening call and they scheduled me for interviews. Final offer came in at $72k and they simply said that I 'didn't have enough senior experience' for the higher range. Why post a range that wide if you're not going to honour it even slightly? Just feel like I've wasted my time with the whole process and now feeling quite deflated

What senior is working for 72k, where are you West Virginia? Is the 401k match 15% or something else going on here to make up for it?

Salaries at times depend on the state you live.

At least they gave you a reason for the offer amount. Granted, it's significantly lower than you gave as a target so they likely expect you to decline.

I suppose that I should be grateful that they gave reasoning but I just believed that I was eligible to be earning half way between the salary range

It sounds like they did honor the range

Honored the range with room ro grow. This leaves room for raises over the next several years, assuming you stick around for awhile and develop well. But if 95 is where you really need to be ...

Did you do research to prove you case of wanting $95k? If you have a legitimate reason for why you should be paid $95k, show the facts and counter.

This seems to be happening a lot right now as they have so much supply and can lowball and someone will take it. They really should just show the lower range and eliminate some of the candidate pool that way

Technically they honored the range. How much experience do you have? It may be there way of saying they want you, they see your potential; but you don't have enough experience.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
