Got it!
Thanks for the feedback. Consensus seems solidly in the direction of NO.
If they were on the fence, could I offer to negotiate a trial month with pay? I.E. enough to break even but with an understanding I'd walk away if low-balled later?
- duiker101 7y agoEh, I have heard of people asking for a remunerated week trial (40 hours, could be spread over more weeks if the candidate is working another job) personally not a fan but I guess it could work. One month is a lot of effort and you really risk being used for low paid work and then being discarded.
- algaeontoast 7y agoThanks! As someone who's planning on leaving a FAANG that starts with A and ends with N/M/R ;) I'm more than aware of what it's like to be brazenly mismanaged and taken advantage of. Not really where I wanted this thread to go, but has to do with being involved as a NCG at a company recently acquired by aforementioned FAANG.
- duiker101 7y agoIf you have worked in a FAANG, chances are, you won't have a problem finding employment in another company. My suggestion is to always value yourself, and if you see that a company doesn't value yourself a you do, find another company. There are many and we can usually get to pick one that fits well. Also, I suggest not beating yourself up if an interview doesn't well, they can be really hit or miss and I don't think they often really evaluate you but rather they evaluate how you would fit in that team, which is VERY different.
