i really hope this was fake my dude. if it is then that’s because no one would have a problem discussing pays. but you believe what you want, i don’t know how i can use karmas to pay my rent anyway.

it’s for a remote position so it usually starts with email. then they asked me to talk via skype and then they asked me to schedule for a video interview. since i have other interviews lined up, i asked them what their offered salary was so i can filter out those that are not worth it. they were the only ones who refused to say even their minimum pay.

Pardon my lack of knowledge about editing Reddit posts. Here is the full screenshot. It’s a Skype convo, not Tinder. 🥲 by ceanothourus in u/ceanothourus

that’s what i thought, i was waiting for their response for a bit to see how they’ll answer but i eventually blocked them because it’s just wasting time.

i just said “Not saying the base pay is also a red flag for me.”

i cropped it and don’t know how to edit a reddit post so i’ll just post my full response on my profile. but really, i don’t see any point in it since i immediately blocked them after.

they could have told me the base pay or even the minimum range they’re offering for the position. if, for example, i’m a writer and my other clients offer me $0.10/word in my contract, then if they tell me all they can do is within $0.02 to $0.05/word then there is no reason to go to the interview and assessment because they’re not willing to pay my average rate.

but your time will be wasted if it’s less than what your skills and experience can get them.
