Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

Sorry to hear it. Episodes like that seem to be more common these days as a lot of companies seem unsure about whether they want to hire anyone or not. In this economy it seems like they slow walk their decisions. Every job search is a competition, but these days it seems like the process has become more complicated and mysterious and, as you say, rather strange.
Yeah just wish there was more transparency and also that I didn’t bend over backwards to fit everything in
I completely get that. It’s so frustrating to invest your time and energy into a process only to have it end like that. I’m just starting my own interview process, so I’d love to hear from you or anyone else. Did you notice any patterns or red flags that could have helped, or is it just one of those unpredictable situations we have to expect?
So I thought it was a good sign that they tried to schedule my interviews quickly and I made myself available, but then HR said they don’t have an update for me because they’re still interviewing others. So maybe that’s a bit of a red flag
