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.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

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…
