What jobs are currently paying 85k?
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

My advice... run from them. They legally couldn't extend that offer without the position being vacant and they couldn't extend the offer out to any other potential candidate without the previous one turning it down. Something is off with their hr team and you should avoid them.
My advice would be to evaluate your current job search and financial conditions. If you can find another job fairly quickly, run away, If you don't have anything in sight I would take it temporarily and then run away. I would not work for a company that pulls these sorts of tricks.

I'd review them on Glassdoor and say they bait and switched you because that's essentially what they did. That's shameful behavior on their part and others deserve not to experience this same abhorrent behavior that you also didn't deserve, OP.
Run!
Bait n switch
I’d say goodbye to them ASAP already a big red flag bad business
It sounds like a mix up in HR. I was once offered a job that was inadvertently offered to the wrong candidate prior to my acceptance. The hiring manager rescinded the offer to the other candidate and I was able to fill the position, but apparently it happens more than you realize, particularly with large companies with layers of red tape, differing time zones and multiple interviews.
Go for it, I was in a similar position decades ago and later regretted not taking the offer.
Walk away from this one.
It is certain to end badly for you if you take the job.
Take the offer, get that money, look for another position and run......
They are clearly telling you how they are as an organization. I think that plenty of times an organization shows who they are snd we ignore them and not till something happens later on we realize there were red flags from the beginning.
hi
They pulled the basic bait and switch. There was never a higher paying position at that company. I’d send an email back something to the effect thank you but however your offer is way under job market. You may want to study up on your business ethics. Good luck and as I am not under any NDA I feel I should share your company name and corresponding emails with others on Glassdoor and LinkedIn. Thank you for your consideration
I definitely wouldn't say all that in an email. If you want to post about what they did is one thing but letting them know that you're going to do it is another. Keep is professional and warn others is my advice.
Take the position
Walk away.
That is illegal. You signed a contract.
Geez this sounds like a pretty good argument to not give notice to your current employer until you've worked a solid month already at your new job.
It probably means that you were just the lowly second or third choice, and they only offered you the job because the better choices declined their offer. When the better choices came back, they kicked you to the curb.
RED FLAG...... BAIL OUT!
You signed the offer letter? I smell a juicy lawsuit opportunity for you! :)
IF you signed a contract, isn't that ILLEGAL?
Unless you absolutely need this job right now (you might), walk away and consider it a gift from the universe.
If you do absolutely need the job, take it and keep looking/interviewing and find a place that won't pull that *~$%&*+>.
I started a sales job with a company on a $750/draw vs. commission. After 2 weeks, the owner came back and said he wasn't comfortable with the amount or idea of draw and wanted to decrease the amount. I left. There was no training program, I was moving to a new area and had to pay for my own gas. You can't stay at a place that changes the rules anytime they feel like it. BTW, I'm a former business owner.
