Antiwork

One month, three interviews, all for $18/hr.

I began the interview process for a job a month ago. It took a month to go through 3(!) interviews and get the job offer. The first interview I stayed I would need at least $18/hr and the recruiter said they would make that known to their team so when I get the job offer for $16 I was a little confused because I made it clear I couldn’t take less than $18 and assumed if I had moved forward in the interview process it was clear to them what my requirements were. So I had to negotiate for $18/hr. Now I’m going through the onboarding process and it’s going to be another 2-3 weeks before I’m working full-time. Do these companies not know that we need money to survive and can’t just wait around for them to do their thing? So frustrating. So now I’m back on the job…

So frustrating.
So now I’m back on the job search again because I can’t afford to wait
