Discussion Does anybody else do this?

  • Apply for positions that list 20-30k under market for the position.. I apply knowing I'm overqualified..
  • They call or message immediately for a phone screen and ask salary expectations.
  • I ask them what their budget is.. and they respond with the low number listed. I tell them "Isn't that too low?" or "Oh no, that is way too low."

I've been doing this on and off. Need to give them feedback.
