Absolutely 100% spot on. We don't even interview Googlers anymore for this very reason. They literally think a "pay cut" means 300k+.

- mankyd 10y agoAre you suggesting that you want to be paid less on principle?
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI think parent is just suggesting that they are priced out of that market, which is completely true. People are reading more nuanced views into this, but they aren't supported from the comment.
- mosselman 10y agoWhat else would you call it? Are you jealous? I know I wouldn't mind earning 350k. It isn't as if I'd move anywhere for Google to start earning that, at least not right now, but to be honest, if you are going to earn 300k less that WOULD be a pretty big pay cut.
- upquark 10y agoIs this slave mentality or what? If I make 350k+, and a startup is telling me I should take their 150k base + worthless options deal, or else I've "pigeonholed myself in the current role" (actual quote), I think they're just being stupid and unrealistic.
- uberwach 10y agoAre these the same bullshitters that one finds in the "recruiter" population? "Slave mentality" is a term I often use as well.
