Reply to comment by The_Original_Miser in How NYC’s pay transparency law could help millions across the U.S. earn more money by strawberrykid_sg

Really? My first thought is that this person clearly doesn’t have the relevant experience they’re claiming to have

$21 no matter what implies to me that the company is complying with the law in writing only.

Now. If person above said "for you based on your experience we will pay $21" well, that's a different matter entirely.

They were asking for 2-3 years of relevant experience in about 3 areas. I have between 6-8 years in every area and according to their own words killed the interview.

I was everything they were hoping to find and more according to the manager that offered me the job. Unfortunately they're budgeting $21 per hour for this role with incentive opportunities and a benefits package, lol.

It's alright, I'm going back to college next fall and I found a job willing to pay me the $26-$27 range I'm worth until then.

So the person who hires you is always going to say that.

Best of luck going back to school. I was in your shoes and went back to grad school as an adult and am much happier now
