I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.
Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon

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?

That seems low to me.. but I see this happening a lot more. Companies are in a stingey era right now because of all the layoffs and how the balance of power has shifted to the employer.
Honestly, it’s probably a blessing in disguise. They’re looking for the lowest cost candidate. And I’m sorry.. at 10k dollar range for a director role?? Maybe I’m jaded, but that doesn’t sounds like a role someone with lots of experience would consider, at that wage.
You were right to negotiate, I always tell people to advocate for themselves. They probably had someone will to do it for 90k.
Either way - you dodged a bullet. Keep your head up, keep negotiating and get yourself a good job with good pay. You got this!! 💪
Probably gives the impression that you won’t be there for the long run if they aren’t willing to pay you what you wanted? Just thinking out loud.
How did you ask? Odd to reneg on you unless you were too aggressive or something
