Applied for an Account Manager position.

They asked the applicant to spend a long time taking a written test and attending an interview.

The manager asked me what 5G is (he probably didn’t know what 5G is himself and didn’t want to do his own research, so he asked the applicant instead).

After the interview, they asked about my salary expectations. I said 50–55K (I actually wanted to ask for 55K–60K, but since I hadn’t previously worked in account management, I lowered my salary expectations myself).

The manager said no, and that it should be only 40K, and that HR would discuss it with me.

I didn’t have a job at the time, so I thought that if I could negotiate something in the 40K range with HR (for example, 45K), I could accept it.

As a result, after the manager went outside to talk to HR and some time had passed,

HR came in and told me that today’s interview was ending here.

Then I was ghosted.

.......

So even though the position clearly had a budget limit, they still asked the applicant to come for an interview.

After the interview, having taken up the applicant’s valuable time and gained their experience, they asked about the applicant’s salary expectations,

then, after finding it too expensive and not wanting to pay, simply ghosted the applicant?

......

The main point is that the salary is only 40K, and it would probably be just 1K or 2K lower or higher than 40K,

so there was no real need to go through an interview and waste time.

I graduated from a private university, and perhaps Compal has modeled its ridiculous system after ASUS’s.

Therefore, even graduates of national universities can ask about the salary range before the interview, understand it, and then decide whether to go.
