Recently got diagnosed with generalized anxiety just 2 years after getting promoted as a Eng. Manager.It seems that I am stuck in a vicious circle where my work woes keep me from being my best in the personal life (exercise, spending quality time with family, sleep) and resulting issues in physical and mental ealth means I slip up more at work and the cycle repeats.Wondering what are some goto...
If they were not applying because salary ranges were too low for them they would have ended up rejecting your offer in any case. So to me it looks like you saved time and resources on stray leads.
I mean it is a lose-lose situation. We both end up wasting valuable time.
In finance, sales and VP+ posts yes but I think for majority of us ICs and lower Ms bonuses are usually sub 20% of the total comp (even at the FAANGs)
Yes but if `negotiations` fail in the end because the max they can offer is lower than your acceptable minimum, both company and you end up wasting valuable time because now both of you need to do entire loop again.
But if I reject the offer because its too low, doesn't it simply waste their time and resources as well.
As a candidate definitely. It tells me what is the maximum company is willing to offer to me. Helps to avoid situations when after applying and going through a lengthy technical interview process me and company both found out that their maximum is actually 1K less than what I currently make.
could you explain what was the disaster ? You had huge uproar from existing employees once they found out that company is willing to pay more to newer employees OR not enough candidates applied for the job posting with salary information ?
why can't those levels and corresponding salaries can be mentioned in the job post. I don't think any candidate would object and the chances of candidates rejecting your offer would be minimum.
> it's not fair to us to post salaries, because it'll look low and we'll lose candidates *
Is that a valid argument ? I mean if it is low even after going through the hiring process people will end up rejecting the offer. Its just that both candidate and company would have sunk quite a lot of time in interview process.
I meant also why does it make sense even from company's perspective. It's not like these policies are set in stone.
Why wouldn't you include the option grant in the job advert though ? I know some people (including me, couple of years ago) who specifically try to find places where there is a huge upside potential through options
I mean isn't this just how fiction supposed to be ?
I am sure you can find a huge number of "modern day devices" mentioned in science-fiction of yesteryears as well. All inventions start with imagination after all.

It is baffling that 90% of job postings out there or even on hackernews' who is hiring threads do not provide the salary ranges that's on the table.As a senior eng/data scientist who is looking for a job change it is extremely frustrating to apply to every interesting job posting and spend 30 minutes in a conversation just to find out that they are not willing to pay more than what I currently...
I usually just lurk here but something in your comment made it impossible for me to ignore. I do not want to be rude but think you are behaving exactly like a pushy parent who would cause the sort of trauma OP is facing right now.
This constant push for a 3.5 year old to read books that clearly require more mental effort than is okay for his/her age, play 'logic' games that he/she can get no joy from are a huge red parenting flag. You might have good intentions but your relentless need for him to raise up to these arbitrary standards of yours that have been created without any regards for his/her happiness are going to put so much unsustainable pressure on the kid.
By forcing your kid to play with the games he can not understand or reading the books he doesn't like, you are just stealing his/her childhood. I can only hope that you realize this sooner than later.

Hello everyone,So COVID-19 struck and I am on unpaid vacation from my job for 1 month. Apparently Data Scientists are too costly to maintain in crunch periods. Anyways, I come from SWE background and been thinking to slowly getting back towards more engineer-y roles for some time now. I think this forced vacation might be good for me to learn some new skills in programming realm.Two options I...
