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?

Wages are bad across the board in most industries right now. If you are serious about a change, it might be a good ramp-up time to take a course, get certification, or something. Then, when the market gets better, you could potentially pivot out and be at a better wage.
Ah that’s quite disheartening, maybe I’ll just stay where I am then at least I somewhat enjoy it.
It does seem like wages are just stagnant all over. And the job market isn't great, which is partly why the wages are stuck, companies know employees don't have many options to move on. It's not a good time to be jumping ship, but looking for a new opportunity while clinging on to one's present job makes sense.
Sucks that it’s bad everywhere, just want a comfortable wage so I can stop worrying so much about my outgoings.
