I’ve been starting to get recruiters writing me on LinkedIn again…which is great…but the jobs they’re recruiting for cap out at salaries pretty significantly below what I’m currently making. I read that people are stuck given salaries have been dropping because of the job market. Has anyone else experienced this???

Got laid off and they tried to hire my friends at 15k lower, this is very real

people are getting squeezed more and more with prices going up. something's gotta give.

When the economy is unpredictable, employers want to get as much work out of their people for as little money as possible. And the job market is such that they will unfortunately get great candidates at lower wages because people tend to panic. This drives down wages for everybody.

There's been a lot of talk about that, and it seems quite plausible. We're currently in a job market where things are tilted in the employer's favor. There are a lot of people who have been laid off looking for work. And employers know they can lowball people and suffer no consequence. If someone turns down an offer the employer knows there are people lined up behind them and one of them will need a job and accept it.

Agreed. And yet our govt is focused on bringing back manufacturing jobs to America. 🫣

Yep I have heard this as well. I have several friends who are looking for new roles and any offer they have been given was a lowball offer. They all say the same thing, people are hoping you are desperate enough to take way less money than you deserve. I guess you really can’t fault them for taking advantage of that.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co.

I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?
