FYI waitresses love kitchen guys 

True story.

Are you 18-30 years old and currently looking for employment? If you don't smell and are a decent human being, come apply at Aggie Station for the kitchen and put ERiI under "Referred by" and you'll probably get hired.

Some 31-year-old aspiring cook is gonna sue the crap out of you guys hahahaha.

So say you've exchanged resumes and pleasantries with a prospective boss, who adds before the interview process gets going " the job pays $XX,000."

They're trying to establish no negotiations for the salary. This is in the private sector. Is it a done deal? What should the response be?

everything in the private sector is negotiable, but that's a bad sign. You could say something like, "that seems low, but we can talk"*. If you really like the situation, you could maybe ask for more vacation or something.

*as long as you don't run into a situation like wacky did where you're taking entire vacation days for the interview

Just because they said that certainly doesn't make the salary non-negotiable.

I've got my 4th interview with this company on Thursday. They want me to sit with the team again and then finish my interview with the HR Director. I think I'm getting close. Leaving for vacation delayed the process tho.

Thanks, all. I'm going to try to ignore it for now and come up with a good answer the next time they bring it up. This just seems like a point in the process where people unintentionally box themselves in. If I'm a good enough candidate, they should want to have wiggle room for salary.

I would prefer to have a candidate that expressed their concern when they had it rather than ignored it.

Knowing nothing about this company, if it's a small company there is a very real possibility that they can't afford someone more expensive and would disqualify a candidate who presents his requirements as greater than they can offer for the position.

[Spracne]

If it's a big company, they're either trying to set the market rate (which you can/should exceed if they like you), or they view it as a pretty pud position (and can fill it at will with sufficiently qualified candidates).

[pissclams]

the size of the company has nothing to do with whether or not they'll negotiate a new hire salary. 
how hard is the position to fill? how much do they want or need the prospective candidate?
these two things will dictate how willing they are to play ball, go cats.

It's a company of about 150. Apparently they've had lots of applicants. Bonus, I am longtime family friends with a high ranking individual in a different department.

Guess I gave the wrong impression. They'd had a number of applicants. They weren't impressed. Michigancat must do very well in the money department.

Ah, that's good for you then.

These guys seem like terrible negotiators.
