Anyone here ever had a recruiter post a salary range online but when you ask them about it over the phone, it’s completely different?

Yeah that's a good reason to be clear about the range on the role in the first call. Also, if recruiters ask your current salary, you can just tell them it's in a similar range and don't give a solid number.

Yes! This is becoming a new fun trick that recruiters and companies are doing. They get you to apply with a high salary range on the job posting and then pulled the rug out from underneath you and hit you with a significantly decreased salary range. It is sneaky and awful.

That can happen. In some states it's legally required to include salary ranges in job posts. So it's done as a perfunctory move to comply with the law, and it may not reflect what the company is actually offering. It's always good to take what's in the listing with a grain of salt and check the veracity of it before things go very far.

Oh ya! Has happened a few times. I immediately lose interest in working with them, but it's still better than finding out about the bait and switch after 3 interviews.

I have had that happen a few times. I be sure to document the salary range on the job posting to show recruiters later if they differ. Some recruiters say it's a mistake, but if they're not being meticulous posting these jobs I feel like we have the right to fight for that compensation because they are essentially false advertising.

It happens. Some job boards actually post an estimated range. This can often be misleading as it is fine print.

Glassdoor even does this. Anytime you see “est” near a salary figure on Glassdoor, it is an estimate that their system posts base on what their algorithm says the content matches in their database. Has nothing to do with the employer or their compensation plan.

Curious to know what salary Social Media Managers are making in the NYC area. Interviewing for management roles and here comes the dreaded convos for desired compensation.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market.
