Desired

So I got a job offer that pays 22-34 an hour. I have 6 years of experience and a BS. The job is extremely hard as well because it’s being with youth who have extreme behavioral challenges. Anyways after the interview I found out I got the job. They were originally going to offer 24.80 which is a crazy lowball. I asked for 29 and they said the highest they can go is 26.50 because of internal equity. I told them I would think about it for a day. Then I got an email in the morning “ After talking with the managers of the program we no longer think you’re a fit for the job.” Lololol I guess my budget was too high for them. Also, pay your employees more. I just think it’s funny that they tried to say I’m no longer a “good fit” instead of admitting they can’t pay me what I’m worth, what a joke.
