I can't tell whether they're high on their own supply or they're trying to get people to accept lower comp. The fact they took 8mo to get back to suggests the former to me.
As an SVP, why would you take time out of your day to try and convince a candidate to join the company only to low ball them? Makes no sense.
The whole "we'll level you up quickly if you perform" is almost always bullshit. It usually takes at least 1yr no matter what.
- jeremy_wiebe 4y agoAnd the fact that the “level up quickly” promise is verbal, means they aren’t bound to anything. Get them to put it in writing if it’s important to you _before_ you sign an offer letter.
- brooksbp 4y agoIt's not almost always bullshit. People just can't grok that their management does not agree that they're performing as stellar as they think.
- ZephyrBlu 4y agoGenerally you're ramping up for 3-6mo and then most companies want to see that you're performing at the expected level for at least 6mo. That's 9-12mo bare minimum. If you were downleveled and they promised you staff+ then they are probably going to be more stringent and there are also more factors out of your control (E.g. your team, org, manager, etc) so good luck getting "quickly" promoted.
- ergocoder 4y agoThen, you also wait for the promo cycle which is every 6 month. Promoted in a year is the best case. In a normal case, you wouldn't be promoted because there wouldn't be big enough project for the next level.
