Never think this. Never assume this.
Talking to a company about salary is a business transaction. It's a negotiation. Unless you're somehow at the type of unicorn where they're not only small, but already have a lot of $$ (basically nothing out there right now) there isn't going to be any amount of "oh yeah, we like you" that will significantly impact your compensation.
// However, all of the offer were with not-that-interesting tech stacks and really bad compensations. //
How 'bad' is 'bad' here if you don't mind me asking? Also, mostly startups or what?
- throwAwayXYZ68 10y agoBad: as in mostly for rent & food, forget about savings. Details (if it matters): Country: France Yearly salary before taxes : ~31000 euros
- findyoucef 10y agoWow that is bad.
- throwAwayXYZ68 10y agoSome offers went up to 35000 euros, but only because they put food and some other accommodations in the salary.
- wut42 10y agoDefinitely NOT bad for France. I'm french and started at 18000 yearly.
