I recently applied for a role at United Health Group and the gap in the salary range was huge $56,000-$90,000 based on experience. The job market is so competitive right now and I have received tons of rejection letters so even though I have the experience I decided to meet the company in the middle and selected $80,000. To make a long story short I was not offered the position, when I asked the recruiter she stated I asked for too much. They were offering between $57,000. I don't get it!!

You dodged a bullet. It looks like this company likes to underpay people. You’ll find a place that pays their people right.

🤞🏽 Thank you!

And don’t look back and kick yourself. Move on. Things happen for a reason. That’s a stupid salary range. I would have asked for more details for the range like requirements for 90k and then requirements for the 56k. Recruiters are called head hunters for a reason. If more people would challenge the recruiters they would eventually stop this stupid intimidation and trying to make the candidates rethink their wants and needs. Find a new recruiter, one that WORKS FOR YOU!!!!

I truly appreciate this comment, it made me feel a lot better!As I said I stated, I have received numerous rejections. I kind of beat myself up after this one.

Hello,
They usually pay really well. I personally have work for them for over 5 years. There is currently a company realignment going on. I would say try again after the first of the year, but apply with Optum health. Good luck. I also have some contacts, if you would like to reach out and I try to see where you might fit in with some of my contacts.

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.
