I was also told my FAANG offer was non-negotiable.
After declining it, for reasons of pay and location, I got a call back 5 minutes later, with a better location, and ~12% more money on the table.
(Junior position in 2012)
- nine_k 3y agoThat worked in 2012, but I highly doubt it would work in 2023.
- saagarjha 3y agoWhy not? If you’re truly willing to walk away from an offer, non-negotiable ones often turn out to be malleable.
- nine_k 3y agoYou will just walk away, and another from the large stack of candidates who passed the interview process will accept that same offer. Engineers just have become much more easily obtainable and replaceable.
- vkou 3y agoIt might work in 2024, or 2025, if the market improves, though.
- bomewish 3y agoIs it just me or does that seem really scummy on the part of the company??
- vkou 3y agoNo scummier than a candidate that's not seriously interviewing for a job, and is instead just fishing for counter-offers.
