Rejected from Spotify and then receive/accept offers a month later
Background: SWE @ Atlassian for 5 years. Total YOE: 7 years Interview with Spotify in April 2022 for Senior SWD. Was rejected initially by the first team. Recruiter never responded to request for feedback. Loose hope and move on. Another recruiter from Spotify reached out a month later. He told me the interview feedback was strong but not strong enough for Senior and want to see if I'd be interested in SDE II in Platform team. Total comp is lower but the work sounds very interesting. I said yes and had a call with Manager. Offer was drafted a few days later and I accepted. Total TC: 300k Bottom line: Spotify recruitment is a mess and don't loose hope if you get rejected #interview #tech #spotify

Why would you accept a job offer that offers less TC 🤦♂️
Should have asked for additional interview round but stuck with senior role.
Curiously why do you want to leave Atlassian? Getting bored after 5 years, or is there more to it?
Could you provide a break down of your TC ?
Any specific reasons you were looking to leave Atlassian?
Why would you even want to work in a place like that
