There are people that you can ask about homelessness and they will, in total lack of self awareness, wonder why the homeless aren't cashing out their trust funds to stabilize their financial problems.

You would be shocked how sometimes that is true

Just checked out his profile and he seems 100% sincere, unfortunately

Recruiters, HR and consultants are very often psycho and sociopaths, they kind of can't do their jobs for very long and not be... so... no, yeah, they are that dense, if by dense you mean craven and morally bankrupt.

They also don't take into account, that someone might be wanting to change roles due to working conditions, family obligations etc and be willing to sacrifice some of their income, to do so.

"people dont want to work anymore we need ai which costs us more than if we didn't lowball our potential employees, but hey, the investors are happy."

FTFY

That's what H1B's are for.

You have to start black balling these companies. Leave named reviews everywhere.

Company name, please and thank you. Your experience is worth little if you don't share the company name.

There ought to be a law against that kind of bullshit advertising.

(Parse that both ways: 1. Maybe there is one if you look hard enough for it, and 2. If there isn't then maybe it's time to talk to a legislator about crafting one.)

Not to give you homework in particular.

Well that would be going straight on Glassdoor and similar with no punches held if that happened to me

Absolutely disrespectful behaviour to brazenly lie to candidates

If you had the initial offer in writing I would email it to them and say you'll take the job for no less, and based on their response and your local laws, take it to either a lawyer, a minister of parliament, or the reviews section of any site they post their jobs.

Maybe even CC somebody important for extra spice

Sounds exactly like a Bait and Switch, no?

I just put 0 or 1 in there

That's not what they want though. What they really want, is to pay the best person they can get the absolute minimum they need to pay them.

They don't think about "what is the value of someone doing this job properly?"

They are counting on candidates not knowing their worth and exploiting that, and this guy is basically saying that

Not happy in my work environment here. I’m not quite to 135k but I’m over 100k. I’ve scrolled through looking at jobs and still skip jobs that pay 30k less.

I would love to be making 135k. And I would be very content. But A) baseline cost of living is different everywhere, B) Some people support big families on one salary, C) Some people have others that they care for with chronic health or developmental issues that are very costly, etc. So not everyone would necessarily be content at that salary. Plus, if you are making 135k and you CAN be making more, there is no reason not to be looking for opportunities to do so. There is no honor in making less than you are worth to someone else just because. Job hopping to get that raise is very much perfectly reasonable. And having more than you need means you can be generous and give to those who don't.

Even being unhappy I'm not switching jobs unless there's going to be a pay raise. No guarantee the new place won't be worse. Unless I somehow manage to land something that pays the same but lets me just fuck around all day.

Quality control for an escort agency

What's a "green circle" supposed to be?

No, it's even worse, what he wants that 135k person to go through the application process.

The guy seems to be from a placement agency so he doesn't actually care that the 135k applicant is going to tell the hiring manager to fuck of at the end of the application process when they get a 110k offer and thus not get hired, what he cares about is being seen sending tons of applicants.

He literally has different motivations than those doing the hiring.

Not posting salaries shows an utter lack of respect for my time.

At this point I'll be happy if they can tell salaries during the first interview, rather than having 3 rounds to then offer half of what I told them I earn on my first call

Then post a second listing and pay range for a senior role. If someone applies for senior, treat them based on the upper requirements for the upper pay range.

Then they are bad at posting ranges and should post better ones. The upper band of the range should be for exceptional matches.

This.

Going from a reasonable job to an unknown is a significant risk, it needs to compensate that risk appropriately.

If I hated my $135k job, I may take a very small pay cut but I'd really have to hate the current place, enough so that I couldn't stand a few months more of searching for something better.

If I like my current role, well that risk premium grows significantly. They'd also have to find me, I'm not actually looking if I like my job.

That's just me showing my poverty. 5k would be a lot for me, but not for someone who made 135k a year.
