I'll have people come ask me to hire them but will throw an outrageous number out at me. I respond with telling them that I'm not professional sports and don't pay for potential. Plus, I've never seen them operating any power equipment. I don't want to low ball them, but also don't want to overpay either. What's a good starting pay for someone with no experience as well as one who has the experience?

That’s funny but a little rude is that’s all you’re contributing lol

Check what the market rate is for each and do some research into what the competitors are paying.

Also consider non monetary benefits, ppl work for me bc we’re small, flexible, require dependability and accountability but also rarely ever gripe about PTO requests or flexing hours when stuff comes up

Give clear expectations of what the role offers in pay and benefits, If you offer below what the candidate is asking but you see possible potential for growth give them clear expectations on routine meetings quarterly or bi annually or whatnot in order to assess readiness for next steps for responsibility and pay bump, lay very clear expectations on what to expect for opportunities for growth

It depends what the role is, their experience level, and skill set.

What’s the actual job and industry? And what city is this in? And what are they asking for that you consider to be outrageous?

By the way, even in professional sports, they don’t pay for potential lol. You have to have a proven track record to get drafted.

Set up a test for them. If they know nothing , give them basic instruction see how they follow it. If they pick it up , step up the instruction to the next level and test them. If you think they are smart , pick it up quickly they are worth the higher pay, if the bomb they are not . Call it a working interview.

Thank you

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

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…

I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
