Speaking as an employee I've definitely seen situations where expectations didn't line up, but I would never have gone through 2 days of interviews without a really clear idea of the range they were considering. I guess this is one of those "live and learn" things, though.
Also, it boggles my mind that a company would spend 2 full days interviewing someone for an entry level person, and then on top of that it boggles a bit more because if they spent 2 days you'd think it is because they are being super safe and trying to find a great fit, and if they did find a great fit, finally, after all that work, why they wouldn't consider going up at all.
Sounds like a real clusterfuck all around.
- nicholas73 13y agoThanks for the reply. Yeah, I didn't know if it'd be a negative signal by asking about salary early on. Also, I was under the impression a hedge fund would pay better. They may have considered going up if they didn't have another option. I was told they were out for a week, which I interpret as them making an offer to someone else first. For all I know this person was a better candidate all around, but I'd be wary of hiring someone clearly unhappy about the salary too. Overplayed my cards, live and learn.
