Recruiter: happy to have you with us. What's your expectation? Me: I want X. Recruiter: that's too much. Me: well, that's what I have now in my current place. Recruiter: we don't look at that, only competing offers. Me: there are not a lot of companies who can pay that and I don't want to interview just to show you a competing offer. Recruiter: well, we also offer good office space, in few years with good performance you can get to this number. Me: *hang-up*. I want my time back.
Bloody man...
What's your level at fb? Curious about what range was X in.
What a joke. Your current job is a competing offer, if you'd be happy to stay there for a while longer.
Why does Google do this? Is this done at all levels?
Competitive market analysis. They want to know what other companies are offering.
I meant more why do they ignore what you currently make at your job if it's higher than their offer.
Google!
