I seem to be having issues at the screening call stage where I get rejected after without moving forward to the interview stage. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I am wondering if it’s all coming down to compensation. I get farther in the process when compensation isn’t brought up until later. When it’s brought up at the screening call, I’m told it’s not a good fit even within range. I have even started being vague about comp by not giving a number and that still leads me to the same end.

Compensation should be discussed during screening calls so that your time isn’t wasted later during the interview process in case you and the hiring manager cannot come to an agreement on pay.

With that being said, if you are asking for a salary that’s within the listed range, then I’m not exactly sure what’s causing you to get rejected. Maybe it’s your experience or qualifications? Hard to say without knowing all the deets.

They have access to my resume and still reached out for a call so how can it be my experience/qualifications?

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
