Hello all,
I've been applying for jobs in the last few days since my current employer decided not to give me a very well deserve raise after 2 years without a raise. The positions I am applying for either have a big salary range such as “Between 60k and110k” Or no salary at all. So when applying, I go on Glassdoor to see what the positions pay and use that to put my “desired salary” in these applications.
I've been rejected from 3 out of 27 companies I've applied to so far.
The thing is I heard someone I know in one of those companies that the advertised salary of 70k-110k is misleading and the budget they have for the position is actually 70k a year. I did a bit more digging into it and it seems like a lot of companies do similar things when advertising a position.
This is really annoying and discouraging.
