Via email, recruiter told me base comp 175-185 is doable. In a follow up phone call, says offer will be closer to 135 base and that they are looking for people that “really believe in the company and aren’t looking just for money”. No official offer yet. I told the recruiter I would not accept 135, and that I would certainly apply great pressure to raise that base. I tried to shift the convo to TC and said min TC must be 200. I have 4 years SWE experience.
Good on you! Tell the recruiter to take her belief in the company, roll it up with all the other beliefs of the employees and shove it where the sun don’t shine. As an engineer with four years experience, your base salary should be a $200,000 plus stock
Are you trolling?
I am not trolling. I am just annoyed with these kinds of recruiters. Lot of Google engineers with 4 years experience make a base salary of $200,000, so I don’t see why you shouldn’t.
I’m annoyed the recruiter may have ended up wasting my time
200k TC should be doable in most companies. How did you waste time? Email and phone call with recruiter? Doesn't seem that be unless you already did tech interviews
I did a couple phone calls but am nearing the end of the process. I invested in this, there was a coding assignment
Better to find out now than later in the process. However, usually TC depends on interview performance, so I'm curious why the recruiter can already pinpoint your TC
The old “bait and switch”.....
This is along the same lines when recruiters ask how much you need “to pay the bills” LOLOLOLOL I hear that line from agency recruiting not companies. Imagine if FANG asked engineers that?
The founder of the company I am interviewing with is a multi billionaire I didn’t imagine pay would be this stingy
My 2 cents, I talked positively till the point that the recruiter confirmed everything and then suddenly stopped responding! Someone tried to waste your time, you waste theirs
Should have laughed in the recruiter’s face and told them you are looking for a company that values its employees and is not just looking for cheap labor!
You were down leveled. Get another offer at the higher rate and negotiate.
