THE quintessential dwarf
Yeah I’ve always leaned smaller , I’d do door #2
I find myself in a pretty lucky situation with multiple offers. This has never happened before so I would appreciate some advice. Both are remote. Money is pretty similar. My concerns are being able to work internationally, as my wife gets stationed overseas, and finding the job after this one.
Offer 1 is a corporate gig. A step up from what I am doing. Different industry but still tech based. International company. They have been really slow in this process and initially they asked if I could wait 3 months for an offer, and also wanted me to work West Coast hours, but they have decided not to require that. I think tech is a great niche to be in for future jobs, and because of the international thing I am not worried about them letting me work from overseas. I am afraid though that the things I dislike about my current job will still be present in this job.
Offer 2 is a non-profit. Significant title bump, but its a really small legal group so its not that much of a promotion. This role is more of what I did before switching to the tech industry. US based, would require a little travel. Less corporate BS and I think I would enjoy the idea of doing a little bit of good rather than just making money. For international, the boss just said as long as I can be online for the necessary meetings he doesn't care where I am. Since the boss was just hired, there really is no room for promotion, and the steps for the next job aren't as clear. These guys moved very quick though and seem really excited about me potentially joining.
I am 35, married with 2 kids. Looks like we will be in the US for the next 3 years, but that could change. I don't know if now is the time to make the safe choice or to try something different.
Any updates?
Ya actually. Interesting turn of events.
Company 1 pulled their offer a couple of days after I mentioned I had another offer. They said there was another candidate they preferred for the position, but it sounded kind of fishy to me, because if they had someone else going through the process at the same time, then why did they initially want me to wait 3 months and why make the offer at all? In any case, the whole interview process was less than ideal, so probably a good thing.
I accepted the offer with the non-profit and will be starting in August. Hopefully fighting the good fight.

I’ve now had multiple interviews where the starting salary offered in the interview is less than the salary advertised on the job listing. What the hell.

What’s the reason given?
I’m not sure, and I haven’t gotten far enough in the process to ask. I accepted an offer to start August 1st , so I am basically just seeing if there is anything with better pay. I’ve taken 2 interviews since that both had better pay in the listing, but during the introductory portion of the interview the pay is less than what was listed and I just say thanks but no thanks.
Pretty shitty false advertising. Are they advertising too good to be true salaries or expected range?
So you have accepted an offer but are still interviewing for other jobs?
Geez. A group interview for 10%+ lower than the bottom of the advertised range? Yeah that’s ridiculous. And good chance after they get turned down, some exec will say, “Nobody wants to work anymore.”
What do you think about that?
