Listen to this bullshit. I wasn’t even actively job hunting. Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn about a position with a base salary range of up to $100k depending on experience. Cool right?
I took the first call with her told her I’d want to be around $85k base. Seemed a fair ask considering I have strong relevant experience for the position.
They then set me up to have a call with a second person at the recruiting firm who is supposed to be “tough” and I was going to really need to impress her to get my resume passes along to the employer. Crushed that call. She says expect next steps by Friday.
Well then today I get an email from them saying “Oh actually they want to offer this position at a $60K base, are you still interested?”
Uh that’s gonna be a big no you fucks. I wasn’t even looking for a job! Thanks for getting me excited and pulling the rug out for no god damn reason.
End rant.
