    I got a job offer with the title "IT Specialist" when the actual job was cyber security engineer. I have over 5 years exp, degree along with a host of cyber security certs. They offered me 85k when this job with my experience pays 115k+. They were unwilling to move on the salary and said that the title " IT Specialist" couldn't be changed even though the actual job was cyber security engineering. The people who worked there all had the title cyber security engineer. I took another offer for 115k. Don't let these companies try to take advantage of you.

    True story: I gave both a hiring manager, and a CEO of the company, a piece of my mind, once -- after I spent over an hour applying for their crappy job (through their terrible online portal) and after they offered to pay me half the going rate, and with no benefits for 90 days, on a phone interview. Oh, and they advertised the job as full time but in the interview said everyone starts as a contractor. I was basically like, "You guys are freaking crazy. See ya." This was during the last downturn of the economy -- some employers were really trying to take advantage of the situation.

      I remember before when I was working as a Workforce Analyst for a big BPO here in my country, another company contacted me on LinkedIn with an attractive offer. In the middle of the interview, the lady said they didn't have an opening for me at the moment but they'll find one. I said, "You contacted me! I didn't contact you. I gave you the decency of replying and showing up. What the hell?" Then I just bolted out of there and went back to work. About 2 weeks later, another asshole from that company called my phone asking if I was interested in the same position. I just said, "Don't bother me. If I ever get a call from you ever again, I'm suing you for everything you've got." Never got a call again.

    I'm glad HR lady is here giving the inside scoop on some of this stuff, helping people to realize they are not crazy for thinking those job ads are unfair and unrealistic. I wish there was a UK version of your channel out there, we could do with stuff tailored to the specifics that occur over here. Still, because of what I've seen on your Channel I do feel somewhat prepared for if I decide to go back into corporate (I'm getting nausea just thinking about that).

      @@TheJumpman319 LMAO, they have openly had that conversation on at least a few videos.
      I dunno if some folks haven't been paying attention to culture starting around first-wave millennials, but all in all we're a lot less interested in family and kids. Generation by generation, fewer people have families. And yet somehow this idea persists that all women only want to get married and have kids. Meanwhile half of their generation doesn't have a family of their own. Marriage kinda has a checkered history at this point. It's almost stranger to find someone who's all about that traditional marriage life... around here you have to go to a church for that.
      That aside, they clearly adore each other... why do people have to be so cynical? Sour grapes? Bad past experiences? With that attitude, why bother pursuing relationships at all? Just give up on what you want, because no woman anywhere will be honest in wanting the same thing? That shit is lame. Only works as an excuse for giving up.

  • @sean_hare
    @sean_hare 4 роки тому +3

    When you have a restaurant or a tire shop looking to hire a developer, what they're really trying to do is create a relatively simple website or application without signing an expensive contract with a company that specializes in providing these services. There will likely only be one of you, so all the responsibility will be on you. Furthermore, they have no idea what to expect out of you, which means if you don't meet their skewed expectations (I use "skewed" euphemistically), then they'll let you go before your project is completed without pay.
    It's a huge risk for these employers as well because their own ignorance invariably increases the risk (and frustration) over the potential failure of the project(s) they have in mind. It would be better for those employers to look for a senior developer, somebody who has enough experience to reduce the risk of failing to complete the project, and somebody who will be able to complete the project in less time due to their advanced experience, so that the project gets completed at a high level of quality for roughly the same cost overall.
    You shouldn't try to mange your own development without knowing the process any more than you should try starting a reno without ever having lifted a hammer, or try to troubleshoot your car without knowing how to change a tire. I think these garbage jobs should be seen as the product of garbage management, and garbage management needs to be exposed for the increasing costs they are imposing on society.

There is probably a job listing somewhere looking for all of those things for 40k/year.
    Actually, no salary. They will pay in equity, a pathetic 1% of the company, but only once you have done all the work and delivered the big project that they need but lack the skills to do themselves.
