I, as professionally as I could, laid into an interviewer recently.
Spent the first 15 minutes gassing up this company "x growth over y years, we have z offices across n countries, we did a bajillion in revenue and were just getting started. So what're you looking for for a salary?"
I responded "wow, it sounds like you guys are doing really well. Considering what I bringing to the table, market averages, and the fact that if sounds like you all are doing quite well I'd say a ballpark of 10 to 12 thousand a month makes sense.
Guys face dropped. He countered with 60k.
"Alright dude, listen, you just made me sit through 1t minutes of you telling me how much money this company has and how dominant they are in the field, and you're going to legitimately give me the lowest offer I've ever heard in my professional career? I went from impressed by to embarrassed for your company in an instant. Let's not waste one another's time here."
I might be mistaken but 60k > 12 thousand, no?
Or are you taking about 60k per year, suddenly?
He meant 10-12k per month. 60k is less than 5k per month.
Also, per month numbers usually are net-value, and per year numbers usually are raw-value.
There may be even a 100% increase from the first to the later.
