Then why bother interviewing at IBM at all?
- dunpeal 8y agoBecause they are a well known company, and OP assumed they could pay competitively? It happened to me personally with another company: well-known in their field, everything they communicated implied they're aware of my current offers and looking to make a competitive counteroffer. Everything goes well... Then BAM, their offer is 20% less than my lowest outstanding offer, which they knew about. Total waste of time. So I understand OP's frustration.
- kamaal 8y ago>>Because they are a well known company, and OP assumed they could pay competitively? There is no way IBM would pay $200K to a fresher graduating out of college. I can't imagine any company doing that. Including Amazon. In fact if you remove Ad revenue driven companies, I guess apart from Apple, nobody would pay that much.
