Jesus, has anyone else noticed a crazy decrease in salary ranges on most job listings? It might be an issue in my city, but I swear, salary ranges are somewhere between 5 to 20% less than they were the last time I was on the job hunt.

Definitely. It's not just your city. From everything I've seen, salaries are depressed across the board, across all industries. It's an employer's job market and they're taking full advantage.

That's just what happens in a bad job market, it's simply the way markets operate. Employers can make low offers and feel confident someone will accept it. If one candidate turns it down, there's a queue of people behind them who will probably take it. A lowball offer is better than long-term unemployment.

Yes, they are requesting 5 years of experience and offering $22 an hour for in-office position.

Absolutely. I’m not sure where companies are getting these numbers. They don’t seem to be coming from salary surveys.

Maybe they think that candidates are desperate for a job so that they are willing to take $10-15k less. I will say that I see this in a lot of postings, but not all, thankfully.

I left my old job the end of January (due to compensation) and hate my new job. I don’t sleep and am constantly stressed. I have been interviewing since May, but I can’t seem to find a good fit that has an insurance Plan that fits my needs. I am thinking about reaching out to my old job (very small and tight knit) to see if there’s a position available for me still. They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?

Got the invite for final rounds for SFA. Please help!

1) How do I ACE this? Rinse and repeat on PS1/PS2 prep or do more?
2) What can I expect - It’s on Chime and not in person.
3) They’re asking for salary expectations & I found out via research that the recruiter quoted median TC but I’d like top TC (200). Do I need to explain why my expectations changed?
4) Is there value in attending the Pre Recruiter Call/ Candid Calls?
5) How do they expect ppl to take a full day off for “maybe”?

TIA!
