When interviewing for a position at a similar agency and HR tells you the max salary is 15k less than you currently make...do you continue to see the interview process through?

If you are still interested in the position. You tell them you make 5k more than you actually do and ask if that can match it. You have to decide if you are willing to make a lateral move for a better opportunity. If it’s not better, you already know the answer.

Depends if there's flexibility, i.e. after 6 months you can renegotiate (could be a current scope issue), you're able to get awesome benefits like more PTO, paid maternity or paternity leave, working from home on Fridays or only working M-Th., etc.

The biggest question is do you want this job? If there are other, better opportunities, go get them. Am I the only one who has countered with more than the max being offered and it was matched?

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?
