Had a second interview with a company & it went very well, one of the supervisor's even complimented me on what a great interview it was. Less than 2hrs later they called and wanted to make me an offer, then proceeded to tell me that there was a mistake made in the first interview, they stated my previous salary was in the range of this current salary range, when in fact the actual salary range is a lot less. I feel like this was a huge mistake on thier part, my question is what would you do?

I’d state you’re interested in the job and if they’re open to discussions on getting closer to what you were told the salary was and your expectation. If you have a set range you aren’t going lower than and they don’t agree to meet your expectations I’d thank the for the time and feedback but will not be progressing with the application. You can ask that they keep you in mind if they have similar roles in the future that align with your expectations and skill set. Thanks!!

Who was the company? I will tell them what your expected salary was and what you were told on interview one. Let them know what you were willing to accept.

That doesn't sound like a mistake at all. That sounds like a classic bait and switch. They got you interested in the role and got your hopes up, and they are hoping that will be enough for you to say yes to a lower salary. If you need the income take the job, but keep job hunting and leave as soon as you can.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
