So, I’ve been head hunted for a post with a new global employer, but now they’re not keen on offering the advertised salary. It is a significant increase on my current salary, largely because I’ve worked with my current employer for years, and my salary didn’t change when my job role did.
They are unhappy with the gap from current to new salary, while admiting the new salary is in band for the role, and market rates. They are unable to find anyone else with the skills, despite trying for ages.
Anyway, I’m tempted to tell them to forget it, however I’m worried I will face this with any new employer.
Should I take an interim 1-2 year role to bridge the gap? Maybe this role could be that interim? But I like the team/role/workplace,,,, so.....
Conflicted. Recruiter getting back to me tomorrow with some kind of offer hopefully so will see. Any thoughts?
