After seeing posted pay ranges, some workers are frustrated by what seem like low-ball salary offers. Recruiters say candidates are reading the numbers wrong.
My last job I did a good job negotiating up. Then come annual review time, I was already “at the top of the range” so got a rudely low 2% annual raise. My new job I also negotiated up higher but they have since moved me to a higher bracket because of performance and gave me a decent raise. I work my ass off and push to expand my knowledge so that I am more valuable over time and expect to be compensated as such.
