Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Hi there! Interviewing w/Amazon for a non-tech role (Associate Category Manager aka Associate Buyer) and was asked what my salary requirements are for base+bonus+equity. Can anyone share insight on what Amazonians make in this role. I have 4 YOE and glassdoor is not very helpful.
Any feedback is appreciated 🙏 Amazon

I once took a job with a company that said they had no flexibility at all in their budget, so it was essentially the same as being told negotiations were out of the question. I didn't really believe them, but I needed a job, so I went along with it. At the time it was better to just get in the door and not rock the boat. At other jobs I've been able to negotiate, with varying success.
I will tell you, every law firm I have ever worked at made lowball offers. I don't know of any companies that are necessarily generous with their offers. I would love to know if there are any out there though because maybe I need to apply.
I haven’t come across any yet :(
