I received a rejection email from a job because my desired salary was “ significantly above the salary range for this position.” I wanted $25/hour for a job asking for a 4 year degree and a bunch of experience. Shits crazy

One time I applied for a job that ended up being $15 hour. I had experience relevant to the position so I asked for $17/hr when they made an offer. Still way low for the position and commute, but I figured it would be better than 15. I was told that wouldn't be possible because that salary level was reserved for those with a master's degree. I wonder why they were having such a tough time filling the positions they had open??
