C and D. I applied on the job portail and sent an email. Ten minutes later, I got a call from the CTO. He sent me a test. I saw the file was a .tar.gz file, and I liked that.
Other employers replied, asked how much I was getting paid (which I declined to answer), proposed they pay more than whatever I'm paid at my crurrent job, which I replied to that it was generous, but that I liked where I worked. I had given up an offer in the energy sector that paid soooooooooo much more, as in ridiculously not even funny more, to get that job. I'm still there.
- high_byte 5y agomakes me happy to hear people like you do what makes them happy, not more money.
- Jugurtha 5y agoWell, if it makes you happier I've declined many, many pay raises at the company to manage its finances, reduced my salary so others get paid, and proposed I go without it at times. So did a couple of colleagues. I remember the then CTO and cofounder, who quit about a year and a half in, telling me that's all they could pay. I couldn't prevent the thought of "Awww, I want to build a mitherfucking organization out of this" from crossing my mind. For now, it's a unibrow like myself, not a multicorn yet. We'll get there.
