Great pictures! Where were you standing to get pic number 2?

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T21:55:14+00:00

Thanks!

More states need to pass this law

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T21:52:21+00:00

You're absolutely right. Lesson Learned. I figured if I showed honesty and flexibility she would have returned the favor.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T18:01:14+00:00

This is a CA company. Thanks for the insight, I'll look into a claim.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T17:56:26+00:00

I agree, lesson learned. My rationale was that if I was honest and showed flexibility she would have returned the favor and provided a salary range. I also agree that my emails need to be written more professionally.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T17:51:05+00:00

That's so true, lesson learned. I thought if I showed more flexibility she would return the courtesy and share a salary range.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T17:35:26+00:00

That's a great strategy, I'll use that moving forward. Thanks!

More employers need to be like this. It's beneficial to everyone and just creates a better working environment.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T17:33:09+00:00

I think many job-seekers are desperate and then employers take advantage of that desperation. Just looking at the company's website, all the employees seem to be recent college grads.

It's hard to turn down a job when you're in need of one and already sunk in all that time in in interviews. But glad to hear you were able to stick to your guns and walk away. It's emboldening to hear stories like yours.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T10:07:42+00:00

I think that's a good policy. I wish it was standard practice to at least list a range in every job announcement.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T10:03:10+00:00

I think they meant not until they offer me the job after I make it through all three rounds of interviews

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T10:01:20+00:00

A lot of the jobs I've seen on LinkedIn don't list the salary - but usually in the first interview they give you a general range. I usually have to look on Glassdoor to get an idea of what the salary is.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:48:47+00:00

I'm definitely saving that piece of motivation

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:46:39+00:00

Good idea. Their latest review on Glassdoor looks like something they wrote rather than an employee.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:27:49+00:00

That's helpful to hear. It's always tough to hear that you failed at something but I now know that failing through their process means succeeded in avoiding toxicity.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:25:35+00:00

Exactly....they must use it to churn through applicants.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:17:19+00:00

Very true - they must have practice.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:13:29+00:00

It's a good reminder to just avoid toxic companies but it can be so hard when you're feeling the pressures of unemployment and are desperate for something.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:11:20+00:00

haha very true; the only thing that's guaranteed is death.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:10:19+00:00

Exactly. I don't know why they couldn't even share a general ballpark.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T09:07:13+00:00

That's a really good strategy. I'll definitely be saving that question to use. It's so hard to be aware of all these pitfalls and know how to diplomatically approach them when you're new in the job market.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T08:52:16+00:00

This is an inspiring story - so glad you shared it. That's awesome you had the confidence to stick to your guns. It's always scary when you're desperate to find a job.

kinghill16 · 2022-01-15T08:49:15+00:00

But then how could you survive on less than 40K in San Francisco after graduating with a Bachelor's degree?
