I currently make about 48k as a mental health educator for a non profit. Not amazing pay, but the benefits and flexibility are top notch and have allowed me to really live a better life compared to previous jobs.
I'm not actively looking, but I saw a posting for another MH educator role that sounded so cool, and for 55-60k. I exceeded all of their preferred qualifications, so I figured it would likely end up being a 12k pay raise. Interviewed today, blew them away, and got a call this evening with an offer. I asked them to send me the whole compensation package to review before accepting and the salary was 50k. There was “an error” on the posting, and I was told the range was 50-52. So they literally didn't even offer me the highest they could and told me so.
I'm just so furious. NY state passed a law that salaries are required to be listed on job postings so that people don't waste their damn time. I wouldn't have even considered uprooting from my current jobs flexibility to be 100% in person for a 2k difference.
I told them to send me the compensation package and I will email them tomorrow with my answer on 'whether I am proceeding or not.' This agency is a community partner that I may end up working with, so I can't be as honest as I'd like to be with how pissed I am.
