I don’t accept an interview unless I have a clear idea of what kind of salary I can expect
the image is essential to the post, i couldnt imagine one without it
And by your career opportunity, they mean their career opportunities.
Betting industry consultant and proprietary trader
No loss to the candidate.
Sounds like a vile narcissist, expecting people to be so grateful just to have the opportunity to be in the presence of their unethical ruthless brilliance. XD

It’s 9:00 pm on Christmas Eve.
Not a single Kalshi engineer has left the office.
There’s levels to this.
lol my current boss’s first question in the interview was “can you work for $__ because that’s all I can give you, not my decision.”
Old school bosses are difficult in many ways, but they do at least realize why you’re there and what keeps you coming back.
For my current job, I finally managed to stand firm in negotiations. They wanted to start me at the lowest option, but I argued for my experience in the field, interests, and personality traits that would be an asset. They came back to me later and said they’d bumped me up to the highest starting wage. Thank goodness! It’s been a journey to own my self-worth and find the confidence to demand a higher number. I’m glad I did. This job has a rare team of management that actually listens to their employees, so I know I lucked out.
Don’t you know they’re Better Than You? You’re supposed to humbly thank your corporate masters for the shit wage they offer.
Pfffsh I told a recruiter I didn’t think there was opportunity grow in a role after looking up info on the company/reviews/their hiring (let alone the wording of their “confidential” job sheet)…response was that they send people to Tony Robbins seminars. Had to look him up, dodged a bullet there I think
I once left out the s-word until after I agreed to the job and signed the contract. Let us just say that even if that person was dead I would want to desecrate their grave.
They don’t even put it in the contract? What the fuck!
The story of that job, and it was my first job out of college, is one of the worst and most absolutely unbelievable stories that have happened to me, and the effect of that job still lingers on in my mind and affects how I view professionalism at work. It is honestly extremely embarassing.
Everybody works for money Karen. Your company is not so great to be working for free. And I bet you also work for a salary.
As a tangent to this post: why dafuq people always asks “WhY dO yOu WaNt To WoRk HeRe???” Bitch I need to work to get money, otherwise I would be trafficking drugs for your kids Karen
why dafuq people always asks “WhY dO yOu WaNt To WoRk HeRe???”
As often as not, I field this question with a straightforward “I have X years in the industry and you seemed like a promising fit.” I might even gush about how wonderful the place looks and how charming the people are. Or note that it seems like your business is growing and how exciting it would be to join a team with such a bright future.
Like, I hate the question as much as anybody. But its so fucking boilerplate, I have to question why people are even mad at it. You’ve got a rookie pitcher sending one straight down the middle. Shove a rainbow up the interviewer’s ass and move on. If they keep coming back to it, that’s a red flag. But if they’re just reading off “How to Hire Someone 101” ChatGPT notes, you should be able to breeze through the most predictable set of questions imaginable.
I’ve asked people “why are you applying to this role at this company, out of all the options?”
Honest answers like “it uses a tech stack I like and the salary is competitive” are fine. Sycophantic answers like “I just really believe in your mission and company values” are less endearing.
I think the point is that everyone works for money, wherever they work. The question is about why you choose that company to earn a salary, rather than another.
I think it’s a good thing that companies have to compete for candidates with more than just salary. Job conditions are also important. Holiday days, parental leave, WFH etc. However, it needs to be in the contract.
“Why this company specifically?”
“Because I’ve applied for 40 jobs, and you are the only one to call me back. I don’t even know what you do.”
There is a lot to be said about secondary benefits, but also work environment. I’ve seen way too many times people get lured with money, just end up working for the big 4 in consultancy and having a miserable life
So what you are saying is that if you didn’t have to work to get money you would traffic drugs for kids? You son of a bitch, I’m in.

If it really were a once in a lifetime career opportunity, then the salary would reflect that.
I love this. In my field we often say something like “this is mission-critical? Did the architects know? It’s not been designed to proper spec, you know, and that’s a safety issue.” But, #union, so it’s different.
So often, it’s deemed crucial but not really set up as if it were, and there’s the parallel with a “lifetime” opportunity architected like a joe-job.
It’s nice when places let you know they are a toxic environment before the interview is even over. Gives you a chance to move on before you get stuck working there.
I don’t understand why they hide the names of these folks. Let them get harassed on LinkedIn for their nonsensical, unhelpful opinions they posted with their whole chests…
Could well be parody, or just simple rage bait.
Let them get bullied and blocked for their ragebait! We are all responsible for the words that come out of our mouths/typed on online spaces. 🤷
Ummm… Isn’t the reason we’re here because we don’t have to use our real names?
I could try to follow the name YappyMonotheist around trying to bully you and you could just get a new name, go though a different server, and go on your merry way.
If you think I’m not yapping about God IRL with my chest (and my phone number if anyone wants to continue talking cause faith and philosophy fascinate me!) then you’re sorely mistaken, lol. But regardless, you or anyone, knowingly or not, could murder me too! That’s not the point, the question is: is it merited and would that create a change in the world for the better? Or am I just a villain? In the case of the LinkedIn capitalist slave trader that doesn’t even want people to care or talk about the price they’re selling their time at, I think it does merit it and it would create a better world!
I just think it’s ironic you’re making this argument on an anonymous forum. You’ve got the sense not to put your telephone number in this thread because you’d exchange the squirt gun of IRL conversation for the firehose of even as small (compared to the r-hug of death, for instance) an internet source as Lemmy.
No, I’m just a bit paranoid and I don’t want any white supremacist islamophobe to shank me. Or even hack me or whatever. I don’t win anything from it. But I argue this way IRL comfortably because at least I can tell if the person in front is a maniac or not, lol. You don’t know if I have social media where I am posting away the things I post here too… I don’t, btw, cause I get it all out IRL and social media just means my friends unknowingly ragebait me with their uncooked takes, but I could’ve! Finally, if Lemmy was a site where everyone had to give their phone number to participate, then sure, we’d all be on the same level, but randomly giving my number here? 🤔
Blocked, not bullied. It’s just a shame that conflict creates ‘engagement’. If don’t feed the trolls was part of the modern internet, wed all be much better off.
Blocked and bullied. They need to know their actions are not tolerated, not that people they don’t know aren’t engaging with them in a way that has zero impact on them.
Scolded not bullied then.
It’s satire, and probably stolen from this guy:
In this case it’s all well and good, just a bit of ragabaiting, but I still believe those who actually post these insane and hurtful things (people exchange their life and health for someone else’s profit, they shouldn’t discuss what the going rate is?) should be shamed, at least boo’d.
Yeah sure, if indeed it happens outside of the realm of parody. But otherwise it’s the equivalent of getting annoyed by every The Onion post, where the intent is already to satirise those people.
A boss using AI to create a cartoon that ridicules the importance of salary to employees is the height of irony
Even more ironic “betting industry consultant.” Literally works in an obsessive “get rich quick” industry and is mad someone wants to get paid
I don’t hang out on LinkedIn reading social posts. If I’m there, it’s too check job posts or answer direct messages from recruiters. Do idiots like this not get blasted by everyone for these asinine tasks? Or are all the people that actually participate in the LinkedIn social feed as deluded as them?
^ Can’ spot obvious satire, call other people idiots.
I’ll give you a hint, not only is a clearly rage bait, look at this job title.
My guy, this entire community is based around people who post shit like this all the time in complete earnestness. I dont think that its as “obvious” as you do that this particular case is satire. But even if it is, that is only confirmation that plenty enough people post shit like this being serious that there is something to even satirize about it. So, whether or not this specific guy is making a joke, my comment and question about serious LinkedIn posts like it still stands. But you in particular who calls people idiots for participating in the purpose of the community they are in, and acts like a smarmy asshole about it too… you can fuck off.
I don’t even apply for jobs that don’t post salary info anymore. My time is valuable too.
Had to cut an interview short today. Everything was going great until the interviewer dropped the dreaded R-word: Responsibility.
Like, really? We’re talking about a once-in-a-lifetime employment opportunity here, and they want to focus on labor? Priorities, people…back to the jobs pool we go.
