Budgets Bend For Brilliance
May 09, 2025
Job seekers say the darndest things… ๐คฆโ๏ธ
๐ฌ Especially about money.
Job Seeker:
“Well, that org won’t pay me what I want.”
“See? It says the range right here in the job posting!” ๐
And just like that — they treat a number on a screen like it was etched into granite by Zeus himself โก๏ธ๐
Reality check:
๐ธ Salaries are made up.
๐ง Money is too.
The whole system is designed to make you feel like the number is fixed ๐
Spoiler: it isn’t ๐ซ
Let the average job seeker accept the listed range ๐
Let them obey the “budget” like it’s law ๐งพ๐ฎโ๏ธ
Meanwhile — you?
๐ฅ You show them what’s possible
๐ You shift the frame
๐งฎ You change the math
Because when they see what you bring —
when they feel what’s possible with you onboard ๐
Those “hard limits”? Suddenly very soft ๐ผโก๏ธ๐ฐ
๐ฅ Budgets bend for brilliance
๐ฅ Numbers move for value
๐ฅ Dollars appear when it’s worth it
๐ Let's get your career stuff handled, find time to talk here. ๐ฒ
