Ok , so here's the thing I applied for a brand new made up position that doesn't exist in any of the Decathlon branches. This position was being filled in San Francisco for their brand new location opening up in America. I applied online was contacted Via Email, set up a phone interview with another fellow, went downtown SF to meet them at a We Work location to do an in person interview. Talked with them for over 2 hours. And then at the end was asked about compensation. After going through the process and being told about what I would need to be doing and given the title of the position and how much I felt like I should be paid I politely told them. I could write down how much I asked for on this review but I won't . Two days later I got a denial. I was shocked. All I could guess was I asked for to much but I really didn't! I came in asking for a value $5k below San Francisco average . Two weeks later I was on LinkedIn and saw they changed the title of the position to Retail Sales Manager . I just laughed because it was clear they had put the wrong title in the wrong city. A Junior Brand Manager is a very different position than a retail sales manager and I'm assuming they realized that after interviewing more candidates who asked for normal San Francisco salaries . I really wanted to work for this company I really did I was super excited but I am not convinced I was unqualified . I am almost certain I was denied because of salary which is still a shame because I would of negotiated . I really wish them the best of luck in San Francisco , but I wanted to give my experience so possible candidates can further prepare themselves.
