During my interview with HR, I mentioned that, based on my years of experience, my expected salary was around 45–50k. They told me the salary ceiling for the role was only 29k. I did try to negotiate for something higher, but since I had been unemployed for nearly 3 years, I ended up accepting the offer out of desperation. Recently, a fellow trainee shared their payslip to inspire. Since we have the same number of years of experience, I was honestly shocked to see that his salary was almost twice mine. He mentioned that there was a separate HR team handling salary negotiations that he was transferred to. My HR interviewer never mentioned anything like that, so it feels a bit unfair on my end. With that said, would it still be possible for me to ask for a salary negotiation after my first month? submitted by /u/Plane-Ad3365 [link] [comments]
