This seems weird to me. I hear it all the time, but I don't understand. It's a few hours, even as much as a day of effort - to make a huge jump that might be worth hundreds of thousands of Dollars, or perhaps have other major lifestyle improvements. And "if I can get a similarly..." - sure, but is it not worth a few hours up front to find the best job for you? I would happily to 4 hours of work to get a 1% better job.
Of course, if it's STEP 1, and you're faced with many iterations of this, that's a different story. But if I'm somewhat certain that I'm looking at a great offer from a great company at some point, why not spend the 4 hours?
- foobiekr 4y agoMost senior (in the traditional sense, not the "7 years experience = senior" sense) people are mostly in jobs where the problem is they are bored, not the compensation.
- HowTheStoryEnds 4y agoBecause a) it's not 'to make' but 'to possibly make' times APPLICATIONS_RUNNING b) most people on that level will already earn that compensation package. So it tends to narrow down the pool to those for which it is an interesting position, ie. 'Not yet established senior yet'. Which explicitly doesn't seem to be what they want.
