I got to an interview only to learn the base was $50k below what I wanted and the OTE was barely higher than my current base ๐

All Jobs Should Post Salary

Yeah, if they refuse to offer a range I refuse to waste my time.ย
Yupppppp I don't even waste my time on recruiters who want to talk before the give me OTE.
Hopefully they told you early in the call.ย
Very beginning of it. At that point why not put it in the job posting
Agreed.ย
You had to change out of PJs for this BS?!
Onward and upward!

Thankfully it was a phone interview so I continued to drink scotch in my nighty
100% i do not take a second call if they dont give me a range. and when they give me a range, i then only talk about the top end of that range.ย
" the base is a range of 70 - 85K"ย
"ok great $85k is inline with what Im looking for"ย
idk something like that.ย

first question I ask when the time comes, it should be in the posting tbh, end of story.
If I don't know the salary after the recruiter call then I'm not talking to them anymore and they cant sit with usย
You live and learn. I started asking for a range for the base and OTE. Also, OTE doesnโt mean shit unless I know more about the company like how many people on the sales team are hitting quota.
Been at my company over a year, still havenโt hit the OTE they told me during the interview and Iโm the top seller.
My boss told me my new OTE for 2022 yesterday - meant nothing to me b/c I probably wonโt hit it. Quota is unattainable. Something to think about if you havenโt already.
On to the next! Keep going

Tired of hearing โour client doesnโt allow us to give this information before having a conversation to understand the fit firstโ. Which means waste an hour with me because I canโt tell if youโre qualified and check the boxes they told me to check off when looking for the right candidates.
It's always my first thing I ask recruiters, Usually they have some shit way of defending low pay.ย
Been there.ย They will ask what you currently make or what your salary expectations are but don't want to give you a $#.ย Frustrating.ย I have hung up on recruiters who wouldn't give me a dollar amount.
