Yeah but its a shitty tactic to pay less. “We wanted X years, but you have X-Y years of experience, so we can’t give you the high end of the pay scale”
Never thought about that angle. I don’t think I’ve dealt with this kind of manipulative behaviour myself, but I don’t doubt it.
It’s such a dangerous game to play, as the “requirements” don’t match reality. At least someone along that chain of communication doesn’t know something they should know about their job. The alternative of just being a negotiation tactic would make me consider ending the interview immediately.
