Dear J.T. & Dale: I’ve noticed a lot of companies posting salaries that are so out-of-touch that they’re well below the market. They clearly don’t know that job seekers have the upper hand right now. What can I do to politely tell a company I’m interested in working for them, but their salaries are way off? — Bo
J.T.: I would never tell a company their salaries are off — that’s the fastest way to being put on the “do not hire” list. Instead, I would ask how they came up with their salary ranges, and if they are open to higher levels based on experience. Some companies just don’t have the budget to hire at a premium. More importantly, some don’t want to. There is an economic shift going on right now that will swing the upper hand back to employers.

So, you’ll need to do research on salaries and see if the companies you’re referring to have mispriced the labor market, or if your own estimations are mistaken. Spend a day with online sources of data — salary.com, Glassdoor, Indeed and so on — but just one day. After that, get out and network.
