Interviewed today and haven’t talked about salary expectations (ops). Interviewer mentioned that a lot of people have joined them from top companies (FANNG and MBB) for less money because of they believe in the mission. Coming from ZS I’m hoping it’ll still be a bit of a jump 😕

I think the message says it all. And it’s a pretty crappy pitch tbh.

My belief in the mission pays the bills and saves for retirement.

I will update, it wasn’t a question anything related to comp.. it was mentioned answer my question about company vision and people. I barely caught it when she mentioned it.

Still a red flag

Whoa! Large red flag flapping in the wind.
Be cautious!

So many overreactions. Who cares. Worry about this when the offer comes. If you don’t like it, counter with what you would accept. They will either agree or not.
