Last week I saw a job that said it paid $28 per hour so I applied to it. It was a quality role which I have a decade of experience in.
They called me Monday and said they were interested in me. All was going well until they asked what I wanted for pay. I said the ad said $28 so I want that.
They said that’s for experience. I responded I have a decade experience. They asked what the lowest I would be willing to go was which I said $25. They asked if I could go lower.
Finally, I grew impatient and told them this wasn’t going to work because if they didn’t want to pay what the ad said they shouldn’t have offered it to begin with. The call ended shortly after.
