I interviewed for what was advertised as a senior role with a salary range of £30,000–£40,000. I applied expecting a professional senior-level discussion. Instead, the interview was overwhelming with excessive questioning upfront. When salary expectations were finally discussed, they were unwilling to pay the higher end, offering only £30,000. Being told this role was strictly full-time at that low end is frankly insulting for a senior position. If you only plan to pay at the lowest level, be upfront in your job posting. It’s disrespectful to seek an experienced professional but offer a wage that doesn’t match the expertise. Overall, a waste of time, misleading expectations and undervaluing talent.
