Employers feel like they've been forced into remote work and salary creep by covid and faangs. They feel so powerless that any pushback from a potential employee makes them think they're going to have a permanent headache working with you.
The way things are you'd have much better luck negotiating a salary review after a six month probation or something.
- yieldcrv 3y agoyes, this was objectively an L for me and in hindsight I should not have negotiated a single aspect of the position, so take notes everyone California, by the way.
- busterarm 3y agoNot trying to rub it in, sorry. I don't actually think you did anything wrong either. Companies are just being assholes right now.
- yieldcrv 3y agoyou’re fine, thats not what you did but I’d much prefer that to the unquantified optimism people many people, including engineers, are obsessed with looking for a silver lining when the reality is that I lost all my leverage and every new recruiter call is at least a month and a half from new money hitting my bank account, if everything goes perfectly.
- busterarm 3y agohang in there. I'll be rooting for you.
