15 min recruiter interview, 30 minute interview with teammate (possibly supervisor, a little unclear if I'd be reporting to her), 1 hour interview that consisted of 3 separate interviews: 1-same person as 2nd interview, 2-chief o staff of Dean's Office, 3- a 3-person panel.
The job posting included a salary band of $63k-$95k. On the application, it asked what my desired salary was, I submitted $95k. During that initial recruiter interview, I was asked about my desired salary, I stated that due to my current salary and experience I was looking or the next step in my career and reiterated $95k.
I was offered $80k. I declined and said I'm looking for $95k. The hiring team came back with $85k. Again I declined and I was asked what number I was looking for. I stated that I'm firm at $95k (readers: this is now the 4th time, I stated my desired salary). They came back with a final offer of $87k.
I declined the role. My current role is at $85k and fully remote (this role is in-office 4 days a week) so it is not worth it for a $2k increase and going in-office.
It was a very frustrating experience, frankly a little insulting and honestly a waste of time for both parties as they clearly weren't serious about the top of their salary range.
