After two rounds of interviews I had a job offer from Pearson in an executive role. The interviews went really well, I enjoyed meeting the team I would be working with and it was NOT and easy decision but in the end I had to turn down the offer because the salary they offered was too low. As I reached the second stage I assumed that my salary expectations had been taken into consideration (they asked during first interview) however the offer was about 3k less than the minimum asked for and 6k less than my previous role. For the right role I don't mind taking a paycut as long as the responsabilities goes hand in hand with it, which it didn't in this case. It seemed like a good company, great location and nice colleagues but the salary needs to reflect the experience seeked in candidates.
