A question of dollars and sense UPDATE
Unusual situation. I have a specialized area of expertise. I work PT by choice and do various consulting work.
An interesting opport. came up and was requested to apply and interview. I have gone through several preliminary phone interviews. After the last one I now have the feeling the budget/funding is 'for lack of a better word' not great.
This is a 12 to 15 hour a week posit. I can work it into my schedule. IF the $ is worth it. that is the question- should I ask the $$ budget for this position before spending more time on interviews? I would only ask if they call me back again. I hate to waste everyones time, so I am stumped. Normally I would never discuss $ before an offer is made, but I get the feeling we a WAY apart on this.
I they mentioned at least 2 more interviews!
Thoughts?
Re: A question of dollars and sense UPDATE
thats a lot of interviews.
What makes you think the pay wont be in line with your expectations?
I would personally ride it out. They may be dragging out the process to gather the funds/convince the right individuals of your worth.
UPDATE
So they called me back today to set up the next interview and she explained the next several steps. It is oddly extensive for such a small amount of hours.
So..... I approached the $$. I was very polite and made it clear I was being considerate of their time.
AUUGGGHHH we are $25.00 an hour apart!! Talk about dead silence. She told me about their research and the state average etc. I politely explained that for this region is a HCOL and reminded her that their position offered no benefits etc. AND they are demanding a very specialized sub-division within the field. I hire people out of college for more than they are offering!
Going on these interviews would have cost me money! I am glad I went with my gut and brought this up early in this process.
