When to Talk About Salary

Reader Comments

Back to blog

I was recurited at one company by a temp agency. Upon accepting the assignment, I asked about the salary a second time so it would not be a waste of time on both parties. When it was time for me to become permanent the hiring manage disclosed the starting salary which was two dollars less than what the agency disclosed to me. Nevertheless I was very dissapointed after six months of service. I went back to the agency and was told that this was not was discussed, and they did not make any false claims about the pay we first discussed. I took the job becuase I did not have another one lined up but was very miserable for the year and the half i was there. With the grace of God and hard work and determination, I managed to find another job that is paying what I really wanted. People, please keep your heads up. There is always a silverlining out there!

I think,you're right because salary is the most hidden part of any job.Ask about the salary in the last,if you'll appoint for the job,then you will have the faith of the company.
