Are they all junior IC level low balls, or is this accidentally revealing why staff level+ engineers aren't getting calls?
I'll be honest and say if tomorrow morning I get laid off, I'm not expecting my current pay to get matched.
- 1differential 4y agoSorry for the confusion, I'm trying to interview for only staff/senior staff level roles. This company just had a job listing for "Software Engineer" to build out a new initiative so I decided check it out. And yeah, not getting the 20% pay bump between job hops that I'm looking for.
- BoorishBears 4y agoThere's no confusion... I'm asking is your definition of lowball something like "offering Junior-like pay when I wanted Senior/Staff-like pay" > And yeah, not getting the 20% pay bump between job hops that I'm looking for. That kind of answers my question lol. This isn't the environment where I'd consider not getting a pay bump a low ball. And ironically that mentality is what I infer when I hear stories like OP's: These companies assume that people from certain backgrounds have expectations forged in a much more favorable market, and they'd rather not waste their time interviewing someone looking for a 20% pay bump in a down market...
