are you ever suspicious of people that haven't investigated what an appropriate salary would be
i don't think it's like highly indicative of lack of savvy but i wonder for roles that typically gross six figures you'd think they'd have an understanding established

Yeah it seems very weird that someone would be 50k out unless the job pays like 500k or something

And it's still the best wage I've ever had. BUT, it's a contract gig, so i pay more taxes on this income in the end... AND i learned after the first paycheck that he gets $5 more an hour than I do.
I'm kind low key furious. But it's my fault for undervaluing myself, ultimately, because I was asked what pay I was looking for. I also explicitly asked my 'friend' about how much he got paid and he avoided giving me numbers by just saying it was 'Very Good.'
I just started this job but now i have this detail really bothering me. How do I negotiate back to a comparable pay??? How long do I wait????
I'm so fucking annoyed.

I think at some point we have an obligation to discuss hard numbers for ourselves but also the sake of an organization.

I’ve definitely gotten job offers where I was offered less than my current salary and I tried to negotiate up and was told “that’s outside the salary range for this job title at this company.” And maybe the right response would have been to ask for a different job title, but instead I just ditched it and told them no thanks. I have no idea how this stuff works.
