I recently interviewed for a senior-level position at an arts nonprofit earlier this summer, and I need to vent about the experience. They initially advertised a salary range in the six figures, which caught my attention. However, when they made me an offer, they downgraded the position significantly and presented me with a salary that felt downright insulting. I declined the first offer, and they came back with an additional $20,000, but it still fell short of the six-figure mark. For context, my last salary was $157,000, so accepting this offer would feel like a step backward. While the role is fully remote and I've been out of work for a year (which I took for personal reasons), I'm torn about whether to accept this offer or hold out for something better. They didn't provide any real explanation for the downgrade, which adds to my frustration. I'm weighing the pros and cons: should I take this job to get back into the workforce or continue searching for a role that aligns more closely with my experience and salary expectations? It's a tough decision, and I could really use some advice.
