Lowball lies
Yeah, multi-stage interview, got to final stage, gave a 20-minute presentation on what I’d do to drive business etc. and then they lowballed me on salary by £8k compared to what I said in the initial telephone interview about six weeks before that.
They were like “oh we would love you to start with us, we were really impressed with your ideas and the approach you mapped out” and then lowballed me. I asked if they had got me mixed up with another candidate, they said no, so I said I’d said a figure £8k above that and they just replied “we aren’t willing to pay that.” So I walked out.
