Have a copy of the ad and call the recruiter back and let them know the the range the ad mentions and ask for a reason why the actual pay mentioned is different from what is being advertised. A lot of times the range is based on experience - if you have it you should be paid for your expertise. In NY it employers are required to give pay ranges.
Good luck!
Companies will put inflated numbers in job postings just to pull people in. And then when you talk to them the number is considerably lower. No way of knowing if that's what is happening here, but it wouldn't be surprising. Major red flag!
Yeah, that's not even close. I wonder if they possibly got the jobs mixed up? Definitely reach out and see about getting some clarification because that's a huge bait and switch if it wasn't an honest mistake.
Did you ask the recruiter about that discrepancy? I do think lately there have been huge discrepancies with pay listed online and what people actually talk about once you're in the interviews. All you can really do is question them/push back a little, and if they won't budge, tell them you can't accept the offer. Still might be worth doing the interviews though if you think you could negotiate an offer
Is this role hourly? Is there mandatory overtime? Maybe it includes potential for other compensation that is not $$ based - like Tuition reimbursement, recurring bonus or commissions, or other benefits not reflected in the hourly rate.
Sometimes they add in the over time as an hourly employee but are posted as a salary range instead of an hourly pay. You could be making 54k-71k, it can be very deceiving
Can you follow up with them to see if they can explain what’s going on?
