Just had the most "meh" interview, can't say I'm all that interested.
I kinda want to remove myself from consideration, but also want to go through with it just to see what money they talking about.

Feel like I'm rotting away my brain power doing dumb ass analyses to help VPs/SVPs say the sky is purple when it's not. Data is amazing and can provide insights but sometimes the answer is in front of your face. Don't need to boil the ocean to see that

Guac in my chipotle bowl, please and thank you!!Company I’m interviewing with base salary is 190 - 210. If I interview well enough. Could push that to 250. TC would be 500
Wow you interviewed without knowing how much they paid? Not a range or anything? That's so brave!
Yeah, I never do this because I usually have the convo upfront if its a recruiter reaching out to me. But this company's head of Talent Acquisition just cold e-mailed me and wanted to talk. No job posting....just wanted to chop it up.
He's trying to sell me on the opportunity and its probably a "name your price" (within reason) scenario, but I'm not too interested in the company. I already know I'm going to turn it down, but I committed to interviewing, SMH.
Ahhh ok, that makes sense and I feel you on the bold. At the same time, something can always be gained from an interview. Even if it's what companies to avoid lol.
Do you have a range you're looking for kind of leaving it up in the air for a position/company that really interests you?
I do have a number, but I try not to be an a$$hole about it. In the tech world, I'm an L7 in Total Rewards. So my next job in 2-3 years should be running Total Rewards for tech company (pre-IPO would be my preference)
As far as pay range, the minimum to move would be:
$275K in annual cash (base + bonus)
$150K in stock value per year
So all in: $400K a year for me to think about packing up. It's a pipe dream, but I'm honest with recruiters and tell them my current employer put golden handcuffs on me. And I'm FT remote, so any kind of relocation or office requirements is DOA.

That's what's up! lol I feel like a TLR member looking at those numbers. About to post a link to some statistics that say the average American makes less than $50k a year and therefore you must be lying
I've never thought to ask for any value in stock either. It's a whole game out here to negotiating and I'm always shocked at what the possibilities are. At the same time, I don't try to climb the ladder either, probably more fear than anything but that's another convo.

The crazy thing is...I've been in this field my whole career and I should be an Sr director or VP at some company by now. But I've had to turn down career moves for the sake of marriage/family, but now I'm trying to make up for it.
I've been exposed to labor market rates across a whole host of industries, and what I've learned is that most skilled/educated folks are underpaid. But that's by design and also due to a whole host of other factors.
My first job out of college in 2003, I was making $48K and was OT eligible. You couldn't tell me nothing....then I opened up a salary survey and saw what companies pay for what positions and was like well damn. I aint making shyt in the grand scheme of things.

this candidate is being a whole diva about responding to this offer in a timely fashion, you're a JR employee, not a director. TBH he wasn't my first choice but he performed the best in the interview so i went with team consensus. Honestly, I wouldn't do all this waiting and selling for anyone but a black candidate, my heart is still hurt I lost her 
i also fukk around, i want the pay of a director without the scrutiny of actually being one
i'm feeling kinda aggy about pay right now, it's my own fault for negotiating based on them being series A at the time, but knowing what else i was being offered from other companies when i was interviewing, moving back to the bay, us raising a series b and seeing what they're paying for my role now - the EOY review cycle is going to be serious for me. i'm thinking of interviewing prior to it to come with an offer in hand to strengthen my position.

Let me have 2 years of being good at my job before yall try to up the difficulty.

Just had a funny ass interview. We both agreed it was not the right fit about 30 minutes into it, but we continued to chop it up. Interviewer confirmed alot of things I'd been thinking about my career thus far.
