I provided my salary expectations in my application and was asked to come in for an interview with HR. I was asked three questions including what my salary expectations were and was told that they wouldn't be able to meet my desired salary (I asked for less than I'm making now) unless I had 20 years of experience. (I have 10)
Someone with 20 years of experience in my field would be asking for double the salary I desired. It seemed like HR was playing hardball, and they gave me the option of ending the interview if I couldn't accept $10 Grand less than my desired salary. I've never had such a strange interview, and don't understand why I would be called in if they were so far off from my desired salary.
