Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

Learn on the clock. If someone says "we should incorporate x", book some time and participate in the evaluation / documentation / POC during working hours. You probably have the time, just decline a meeting that should have been an email anyway.
Certification is a check box. I won’t confuse that with “learning”. You should be learning on the job and willing to do new things. That’s the point here
Taking a break from social media also helps

I feel you, it's a soul-sucking existence. They demand more and more of you and then at the flip of a switch they let you go because of "org restructuring". Chances are you don't need to be an expert in everything they want you to learn, you just need to be literate. This is a really good time to use AI to help make learning more efficient. You can say "write a tutorial for a beginner to learn Salesforce in 5 paragraphs".
Guilt is for the weak slave minded according to frederick nietzsche. Learn how to turn it off with a phrase like "oh well.", now resting happens. If you dont rest, your learning will be half assed. The guilt is the only problem here.
Yeah, I just say eff it even in the face of fear because I see brilliant people get let go every 6 months. Learning is important for when that happens to you, then you are skilled enough to land on your next role while or before ;) walking out the door
