Prospective employee gets burned after 7 rounds of interviews when the company claims the job listing was ‘incorrect’, offering $70,000 less than promised: ‘Classic bait and switch’

Interviewing is exhausting. Although it seems simple to submit your resume to every company you're interested in, each business has a customized portal where you have to manually input all the same information. And nowadays if you even get past the application process, you're likely in for a rollercoaster ride of multiple rounds of interviewing, spouting the same information that can be found in your resume to 10 different (likely incompetent) C-level bosses.

In an attempt to weed-out the bad eggs, business have made interviewing excruciating.

For the prospective employee in our next story, the interview process went far beyond 'excruciating' and straight into the badlands of insurmountable disappointment. After 7 rounds of interviewing and months of preparation, the original poster (OP) found himself in the final rounds of the process. With only the prospects of the $100-150k salary range which was promised on the original job listing, OP was thrilled to make it to the final rounds–except, all that was waiting for him at the finish line was a measly $80,000 offer.
