No, one internal employee did state that as the reason. I have very strong references from every direct manager I've ever had. I am not difficult to work with unless you can't deal with having your opinions challenged. Unless Google retracts my offer based on this post I plan to work there for a long time so your advice is irrelevant. Its just disingenuous for startups to say they can't find talent when they mean they can't find cheap, meek, timid talent.
- Bahamut 12y agoMy experience has been similar to yours but in the Valley, and I have a strong set of GitHub contributions as well on top of a clearly sharply skyrocketing work profile chock full of engineering accomplishments & roles. It is frustrating that startups do not want to pay anywhere close to what reflects what that quality of engineering may entail. Companies like Google will pay $100k more than what typical startups will pay for quality senior engineers as far as I can tell, and that too is even a bit of a bargain. Increased responsibilities do not justify a shortfall of that much when it means it is close to 33-50% of a potential candidate's salary that is chopped off for them.
