Applied for a Director role in industry without realizing their Director = our manager. Had a call with HR that said their salary band is $20-30k below my current. They are requesting an interview with hiring manager, who is a lot less experienced than I am. Should I email them now to let know I am not interested or go through it?

If they told you the salary band did they ask what your requirements are? Usually it would stop there if they don’t match. I wouldn’t interview unless they’ve indicated they can meet your pay needs.. of you aren’t interested even if they did pay you what you’re looking then just call them back before the next interview to decline - don’t waste the hiring managers time and ask to be kept in mind for future roles that meet your experience level

Base is king. The variable parts of “total comp” can disappear in an instant (as we have seen time and again).

IMO, if it’s a deal breaker for you, then you’re better off explaining the situation and politely declining rather than going through all interviews and declining an offer that you knew you didn’t want.

I would let them know you are not interested. It would be a waste of your time. I’ve been looking and it’s really challenging to find the right position for our level.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
