Hi fish - has anyone ever dealt with a recruiter not giving you an indication of salary? The recruiter told me “a lot” for a director level at a start up but won’t give me a number.. gone through 3/4 of interviews

“A lot” lmao. A lot of what? Coins? Starburst? They’re probably trying to see where you want to be. Ask for a range.....? Or give them a range that is reasonable to absurd. (I.e. if you want $200k - tell them $200-300k and smile).

funny

The situation is pretty odd to be honest, external headhunter incentives are strongly aligned to giving you high comp. So there is some silver lining there.

However, don’t get caught up in the pricing yourself out BS. You should know your floor for this job by now, and you should get a number out quickly before you find yourself wasting time for no reason.

Or they aren’t interested in people who are driven by money as a primary motivator as they don’t tend to stick and don’t make good employees

Funny

Probably complicated with vested options, base and performance.

Haha. Interesting

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
