I have limited experience but I’m trying to get back into construction now obviously they’ll hire the more qualified guy over me which I get. So are there any parts of the offered salary I can give up or maybe like the benefits for a month or two to show them I can learn and at the end of that period either they give me full benefits and pay or fire me is that maybe something I can do? Because I’ve been finding it hard to get hired over more qualified people.

Doesn't work that way. Once you negotiate giving up benefits, you have given them up entirely. Also, if you're going to get into any form of construction, you're going to have to pick a specialty to focus on. I highly recommend focusing on the trades, but you're going to need to start at the bottom as an apprentice and need to go through a trades program.

Tough position to be in. Desperation will make you do hasty decisions but who hasn’t been in this position before.

Go union, not sure which trade, but try union.

Anybody know salary range for VP Operations for GS in SLC?

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. 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. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
