I had a phone interview with a female catbert recently. I am kind of looking for something else.
It went well until we discussed salary (made too much probably) and PTO (again too much) and the call ended politely.
Yep.
Had a lot of head hunters reach out to me. I like to keep a toe in the water to see the market. One headhunter, whom I have worked with since college, flat told me “Wait 6 months. Most of these openings are paying so below market that they are hoping for an H1B”.
But the cost of expanding hourly wages is less for salary folk. Many companies in the area have started laying off managers and engineers because the can’t raise prices of their products, but have to meet earnings.
