HR recruiter misheard my expected salary....
I’m currently on £40k and had been job searching for a while aiming for around £55k roles. That felt realistic to me because it was already the upper end of most of the jobs I was applying for.
I came close a few times but kept getting rejected. It honestly got pretty draining, but I kept going.
Then during one interview process, the HR recruiter asked for my expected salary. I said £55k… but somehow they heard £65k instead.
The funny thing is I didn’t realise at first. I carried on through the interviews as normal, they went pretty well. Eventually when it came time for the offer, they asked something along the lines of “just confirming you’re still looking for £65k?”
At that point I just went with it and said yes.
Well… I’ve now signed the contract and I’m about to go from £40k to £65k which honestly still feels surreal. A £25k jump was never something I thought would happen this year.
Curious if anyone else has had similar experiences where salary expectations ended up way higher than expected, or what your biggest salary jump has been?
