What would you do if you went through 7+ hours of interviews and then at the end of the process were told a mistake was made in the compensation range you were originally told the role pays and it actually pays lower?

My SO just went through this and was upset as they felt their time was wasted for a role that couldn’t actually pay them what they would have left for.

The range was also included on the description. What would you do in this scenario?

I’m not sure there is too much you can do. Politely thank them for their time, but will have to move on due to the compensation range. I’d agree their time was definitely wasted, whether on purpose or an honest mistake is anyone's guess right now.

Personally, I would complain to the MD/CEO. If things are not right in terms of internal practice, it does need to be highlighted concisely and to more senior people within the business. It's not right that you have wasted several hours and been mucked around like this.
