I had a recruiter set me up with an interview with a local startup's CEO. He rescheduled on me once through the recruiter. For our second time, he texted me 15 minutes before the interview trying to reschedule again.

Employers claiming they are paying market average when they are clearly not can only be one of two things: 1) oblivious/stubborn to the actual market  , or 2) think employees/candidates are stupid as hell

qhat posted:IMO that's super unprofessional and sounds like an outlier. My opinion is that the second the company speaks to you on the phone to say they're interested, they should have the courtesy to tell you when they're not interested and in good time. I remember one time I had an in-person interview scheduled with a company and they then canceled it saying their office was going to be having some renovation done the day it had been scheduled, and specifically told me they'd call me back next week to reschedule. This was after two phone interviews - one with someone in their HR department and then one with their local guy - that both went really well in my opinion. I called them back after the week had come and gone and the HR person I'd been talking to sounded really embarrassed when she told me they'd already interviewed and gone with someone else. I counted myself lucky at the time I hadn't gotten caught in that kind of shithole, although I wound up getting into a way crazier shithole a few months after that. oh well

I had an onsite scheduled and then the company's website went down. they cancelled on me to fix it (it was a devops position but lmao) i still went to the follow-up, only to get a better offer and turn them down, they still insisted on me calling them back after a month into my new job and turning them down again in case I didn't like the gig I took.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:almost everyone is in bucket #1, but some employers fall into both buckets Ya, but if they aren't offering competitive wages because of #1 then they'll probably be hesitant to start because they would have to increase the wages of their current staff, who have probably had to deal with lovely pay rises for years.

it's kind of funny when you actually have a super in demand market like those self-driving car people at google who got retention bonuses so huge they retired this only works if it's a brand new thing and you need it like now

Got a call from a recruiter today, told him before the call "only if you have jobs that fit my resume". What do you know, he rung me and turns out he had nothing even remotely appropriate. Lol.

Having to explain your work experience to some recruiter on the phone seems like an utter waste of time. 95% of the time they have no idea what you're talking about. me: I wrote a unified interface to abstract away different database APIs so database access is standardised across the codebase idiot recruiter: oh, so like you wrote a website? gently caress you

Start listening, it's the hiring manager apologizing. Manage to get another voicemail while listening to that, with a better offer than I originally requested. I've been job searching for a year now and I'm like screw it and accept. Three months later I got laid off because they ran out of work for me to do. Good times.

I had a lot of "we pay competitive salaries" and then when I told them a ballpark for total comp silence on the other end of the phone. it turns out that stock grants significantly bump up your total compensation and companies that don't give that or are pre-IPO are just not competitive in any way.

product manager gigs are the same, can be anything from a specialist in the marketing team to running a department with a p&l etc. gotta try to get a salary range up front or a really good JD to see how they value the role. decent recruiters understand this, the rest look up "Product Manager" on glassdoor or whatever and thats their price anchor.

at my company we made an offer to a guy and he asked for some more time to consider it. the ceo was like "no, i've seen this before, he's trying to use our offer to get a better one from another company. it's now or never" so the guy chose now and accepted our offer. after eating up 3 weeks of training time, he got a better offer from whatever other company it was, and peaced out with no notice. ceo sure was pissed lol!

a friend said his company hired a guy who did the same thing after the first week. After a little digging they discovered this guy had been going to interviews, getting onboarded and then just not showing up (or taking an instant vacation if it was a block grant rather than hourly accrual). He apparently spent the last two years going from company to company like that and collecting paychecks from the termination lag, sometimes collecting multiple paychecks at once, until one company finally hunted him down and took him to court for fraud

A guy was hired along with me but ghosted on our start date. Turns out he was in jail on a DUI (which, here in Wisconsin, is quite an achievement).
