About two weeks after I applied for the job, the recruiter reached out to ask about my availability. I responded with my schedule, and about a week later, she arranged an interview with the hiring manager.
The phone interview lasted about 10 minutes before he asked about salary. I had researched the company and the role, and referenced a salary range posted on Glassdoor. However, he shared that the actual compensation was less than half of what was listed.
I felt misled. It seemed dishonest almost like bait and switch tactics, posting one figure publicly and then offering something far lower during the interview.
