@past hound I'm interviewing for a remote role rn

#

But it does require 20% travel to client locations

past hound
#

Which company?

pseudo wagon
#

I live in nj, what salary range do you think I should ask for?

pseudo wagon
#

don't wanna incease the competition

#

but it is a big company

#

in the manufactoring/industrial space

past hound
#

in the original app

pseudo wagon
#

but these typically pay around 70k

#

so to the recruiter I said 70k

#

but if the hiring manager asks I could discuss higher

pine topaz
#

its a loli company

#

admit it

pseudo wagon
pseudo wagon
#

hopefully my lowball offer at 70,000 puts me ahead of the competition

wet kernel
#

lol

#

yeah hopefully

#

u should lowkey say you would do it for free

pseudo wagon
wet kernel
#

that would REALLY set u apart

pseudo wagon
swift falcon
pseudo wagon
wet kernel
pseudo wagon
#

if i high ball it they will not move forward with my app

#

but if I lowball it I'm not payed according to my potential, but I might still have a job

#

that's why I lowball it

wet kernel
#

but then u will be perceived as weak

pseudo wagon
#

meh

#
Feel confident in your first salary negotiation by knowing when and how to proceed. ```
#

based on this, I am currently in no position to negotiate

#

after I get the offer I'll negotiate

ornate cliff
#

I always ask "is there room for more"

#

without any leverage

rustic light
#

Did anyone get 2k company'scoding assessment ?

ornate cliff
#

as long you ask nicely recruiters are open to it

#

without sounding ungrateful just ask hey can is there any room in TC

#

I'm fresh out of school and it would be helpful

#

🤷🏼‍♂️

pseudo wagon
#

Hmm yeah next time I'll talk to her and ask that

#

she seems nice too

ornate cliff
#

I asked it for all my internships

#

and they always said good for you for asking

#

lmao

#

and gave me a small bump

pseudo wagon
#

and I live in a reletavely HCOL area so if they like me they really should give me more

pseudo wagon
ornate cliff
#

per hour

pseudo wagon
#

cus for my internships it was per hour and i did discuss it wiht them

pseudo wagon
#

My highest was 21 per hour

#

for my network internship

ornate cliff
#

I bumped from 25 to 26 KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

pseudo wagon
#

#

anyone heard of this company called canonical?

rich prairie
#

🤨

#

dont they basically own the ubuntu project

#

yeah'

#

i applied to a job there, got to pre-interview, and then self-retracted because the posted job didnt indicate seniority and they were trying to interview me for a manager position

#

rather annoying hiring practice

ornate cliff
tardy geode
#

they sent me some 30 questions to write in a doc and send them back 💀

rich prairie
tardy geode

tardy geode
#

whole roost
#

Yeah that's Canonical for you, they're looking for slaves

rich prairie
#

man tbh idk
i found that to be a red flag and

i got 2 red flags

  1. a job post with no seniority indication that ends up being a literal manager position
  2. a 40 question pre interview questionaree
#

so im good

#

idc if a company has 4 interviews

#

but asking for a literal dissertation

tawdry nacelle

not revature, it sounds similar though, but breaking contract would be 5k which seems reasonable in comparison

#

are there any options that are better than these revature type companies? I know I don’t have that many options without experience but it feels like there are these crappy programs and cushy jobs without much in between

Get the security+ certification afterwards

It's the worst when the person you're helping tries to interpret what they see on the screen instead of just reading out error messages.

After s lot of back and forth, it turned out that they needed to install Python in order to run some program lol

Are you ok with a $50k/year salary in a HCOL area (Bay Area, job is in person)? Are you ok with a software/QA testing role that has no coding involved? if you are, DM me and I will send you a link to apply to the role. The role is a contract position so you'll be hired by a contracting company to work at FAANG (F).

Not expecting you to DM me because this is not good.

50k in bay area bro thats illegal

it's 25.93/hr which is approx 50k/year

Are you living rent free?

lean carbon

yikes this is slavery

oblique harbor
#

Yes. I am not gonna take up this role even though I'm living with my parents in the bay area without having to worry about rent. The pay is just too low and the role is not what i am interested in. Doesn't matter that its a FAANG company

#

Idk if it's good to take it and try to transfer internally to swe

#

Oh it's a contractor

#

So you're not even working for meta

oblique harbor
swift falcon
fathom dagger
#

But like even if you put it on resume

#

You're not getting the xp from being a swe at meta

#

Like does that even matter?

#

you're not coding a single line

oblique harbor
#

Yea. Unless you wanna be a software/QA tester in the long term, this is not worth it.

fathom dagger
#

Yeah fuck that

#

You employed rn?

oblique harbor
#

The ONLY potential upside is that while you're at Meta in that non-coding role, you could maybe make connections with people who are hiring developers and maybe get a referral/foot in the door for a software dev interview

But still, not worth it imo. I told my interviewer that I'm not interested but asked that he consider me for other developer roles on his team or others at Meta. he said sure. i also sent him a Linkedin connection request. Hope it works out.

Swe?

Tc?

oblique harbor
#

$65/hr or approximately $130k/yr. It's at a small startup that was founded earlier this year. My professor recommended me for the role to his friend who was looking for employees and that's how I got it

fathom dagger
#

Why you hunting for jobs then

lean carbon
#

u always gotta move up man

oblique harbor
# fathom dagger Why you hunting for jobs then

Because I am technically not being paid yet as the company is yet to secure funding. They are hoping to get it at the end of this year or early next year. Once they get funding, they will pay me for ALL the work I've done, not just the work from that point onwards.

But if i can get a job that pays me immediately instead of having to wait a while for my paycheck, I'll take it.

#

and yea, higher TC too. Anything higher than what this startup is offering is much appreciated.

fathom dagger
oblique harbor
# fathom dagger So you haven't been paid at all since you started working?

Not yet. The company is all but guaranteed to get funding. Hopefully this December or January, they will get $1 million and later next year, they get another $2 million. Once they get the first million dollars, the first thing they will do is pay me $65 for each hour that I've worked thus far. They said their top/first priority once they get the money is to pay me.

lean carbon
#

dam u got faith

#

i would dip as soon as i can from that

oblique harbor
# lean carbon dam u got faith

I have faith. There is an event in Las Vegas later this year which will give $1 million to seven startups. The CEO of the company said most other entries are shit compared to ours so we have a near guaranteed chance to get the million bucks.

#

I do have it in writing.

oblique harbor
# fathom dagger You got Balls

I'm applying to other jobs too just in case things don't turn out or I get something I like better. But I have faith in this company and the work I do is interesting. They are super chill and its 100% remote.

oh dam so if it works out then u hit a goldmine

oblique harbor

#

The benefit I get is that the job is remote so I don't have to worry about rent and I get hot meals cooked by my mom everyday.

fathom dagger
#

Any pto?

oblique harbor
#

IDK yet. Its a new company and they're still figuring things out. I don't really care about PTO tbh, unless it's an absolute emergency (death in family, injury), I am always gonna show up to work, even if I have PTO thats about to expire.

fathom dagger
#

Xp he's getting is valuable

#

Hopefully you get paid in the end

oblique harbor
#

I also interviewed at another place, a government defense company. The hiring process is just reaaaaaallly slow so I won't hear back/get an offer/second interview for quite a while. They had only positive notes from the first interview, but the hiring process is just long. Pay there is good too and its a developer position.

If nothing else, I am working at this startup until I get something more stable (or the startup becomes stable).

#

No.

pseudo wagon
#

Is their product competitive?

#

If it isn't the won't get funding (or not enough funding) and you were basically working for free

#

I almost got roped into one of those, but as I started working on their project I realized it had already been done by another company and the founders were just jumping on the ai hype train and will definitely ever secure funding

and so I immediately bailed

The job market is heating up and I think reconnecting would be a great idea regarding what you are currently doing and if you are open to hearing about new roles in the technical support space or any vertical you are currently targeting.
