So I was one of two final candidates for a position. I was not selected and was fine. What I do find issue was being told they loved me and still want to work with me. They referred me to one of their vendors - pay is 50k less and I would be working for the person I lost original position to. I am under the impression they do not realize how insulting they came off. AITA for saying below my salary expectations and not in line w/ career trajectory goals? Thanks but no thanks

Not if you say it nicely.

Something like, “I appreciate that you want to maintain a relationship and I’d be excited about future opportunities. Unfortunately, this role doesn’t meet my salary needs or the direction I see for me career. Please keep me in mind if you see other opportunities.”

Perfect response 👏

OUCH. Yeah, I’d be pissed too. They don’t get to not choose you and still benefit from your talent and skillset at a significantly lower rate.

You definitely deserve better!

February I have been on my job 28 years. The owners up and sold the business without a notice. I am salary and have always received my salary on vacation week plus vacation pay. New owners said that’s the stupidest thing they ever heard and it will no longer be received. I’m exhausted giving a job this many years and feeling I now have to start all over. Does anyone have any advice how should I handle this. At this point I think it’s time to find another job but fear of not making as much money.

Having an Interview this week, and don't know how high I should set my salary expectations. I currently earn 24k/annum base + comission.
