<prompt> Human: I finished my 4th round of interviews last week. The offer was for 26k with no bonus or commission opportunities. Im on track to make 90k this year at my current job.We discussed salary ranges very early in the interview process. They have several openings within the sales department and a couple of them have workable pay plans. I made it clear in the first interview that I wouldnt be able to take this position but that would be interested in some of the other openings. The offer was for their most entry level position, though. Im not an entry level sales guy- I have 15 years of documented and proven success. Last year I was at 140 of quota, this year it should be closer to 160.They didnt even bother to check my references.Im still interested but I cant justify a 64,000 pay cut.How would you respond?What did I do wrong?Assistant: Id tell them I was not interested. Honestly, if they cannot give you a respectable offer why would you want to work for them?You owe them nothing. Just tell them no thanks and find a place to work that sees you for what you are truly worth. Human: Thats what Im having a hard time with.They have a fantastic reputation and there is a ton of room for growth something my current employer lacks.One of my hang ups is that they have a policy that anyone hired into that position hold it for a year before being eligible for a raise or promotion. If it werent for that I might even consider it- thats how confident I am in my ability to produce.  <response>: If you grow at 10 salary per year you would literally be retirement age before you come close to what you make now. If you are that confident in your ability to produce it sounds like you are in sales there is no reason you cant find an employer that you can sell yourself into a position that isnt considered entry level.
