Ask HN: How often do salary expectations not match up?
I recently had a 2 day interview, which went well until at the end we found out my salary expectations did not match up to theirs (85k in SF). It ended up to be a waste of time for both parties, as they didn't want to budge from 85k, and I didn't want to appear weak by backing down.
How often do your salary expectations not line up with the offer? Either as the prospective employee or employer.
Or are companies and employees generally within a ballpark on what they perceive as market rates.
I have to admit I thought the market rate in SF would be much higher, given what I've read in HN. It would have been relatively entry level but at a financial firm.
