Thoughts on working for Teads?
Let’s use our talent for a good reason!!!

Is your agency celebrating pride? If so how?
It’s awards season for Scroogiest Company of the year! Time for Q4 cuts and gotcha just kidding about them bonuses haha memorable moments.
I’ll go first- Argonaut just laid off a lot of people right before the Dec. 9th bonus dispersal date that was promised for folks who had been employed since March 2020. Those crazy kids! Always up to something silly!
Gonna go ahead and say though that Better is still narrowly in first place after the Zoom firing holiday Xmas special. Who else?
Rising Star
Say the 85k was based on a 3-day work week
This is why you are a “rising star” in this community.
Tell them. People are allowed to change their minds. “I misspoke the other day and really underquoted/undervalued myself.”
“I had a chance to better consider what I’m targeting in terms of salary, and now am hoping for a salary closer to_________”
You could probably word that better but just some thoughts.
If 85k isn’t enough to get you excited for then new role then the recruiter would probably love to know what will get you excited.
You are not dead in the water. Recruiters are a dime a dozen. In the case of this one: “I did some additional research on comparative salaries, and upon further consideration, I’m revising my range to XYZ.” Done.
Or something to the effect of, “After learning more about the position and the requirements of this job, my ideal compensation would be xyz”
Get another offer somewhere else, and behind to leverage it.
Pretend you didn’t say something specific in future conversations. Next time you speak, make sure you clarify that compensation is based on the tasks /responsibilities
Thats a bit fatalist imho. You will recover and making 85 or 125k is very comfortable. You also made the bed without research.
I got the the reference don't worry 😉
Did you already sign an offer?
