I’ve had interview processes where the recruiter later mentioned the salary band had “shifted” during hiring. It made me unsure how much to push. Has anyone else had a comp range change on them mid-process? How did you handle it?

To help shape my response, I would want to know why exactly the salary band shifted, and how hard I press will depend on whether I need the job or not.

If I am employed and looking to make a lateral move or upgrade, that's a bit of a different position than being unemployed for 3 months with interviews being hard to come by.

In the current job market the employer has the upper hand in all scenarios unfortunately.

Great points. Thank you!

I’ve had roles that disappeared through the interview process. If it is a huge shift, I might just pass. Not a good sign for things to come. It depends a lot on what they say happened.

Very true. It can be a red flag of sorts

To me, it doesn't really matter. I'm going to request what I'm going to request and if they can match that, I'll take the job, but if they can't, I will look elsewhere. I'm not going to take less money just because they had a sudden seismic shift in how much they're willing to pay for my work.

Do I just make something else up entirely?
