What REALLY happens behind closed doors with your JOB OFFER!

[@ericinla65]

FUNNY STORY - After taking a job. 3 months later I was in my office and had just printed my updated Resume (I always update it). My new boss came into my office and I noticed he saw my updated resume on my desk. (He didn't say anything). 2 days later I was called into HR. They told me I was being underpaid and should have been started at a higher wage. They gave me a retroactive 20% pay raise without even asking. I guess they loved my work and were afraid I was looking for another job and was going to leave. 🤔

[@rcranjos]

Best outcome.

[@pounce3805]

You posted this in another video and it kinda sounds fake.

[@picklerix6162]

Yeah, sometimes that happens. Headhunters started to contact my friend’s wife to go work at another company. Her boss found out (probably snooping her email) and gave her a raise. Both my friend and his wife were pulling in over $300k per year working at oil related companies. When the pandemic hit, the price of oil cratered and both were laid off. I also received a salary bump when I found out that I was being paid less than new college graduates. That was a long time ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong ... A team of industry experts will meet to decide if my expectations are in line with their conclusions. If they are not, they will pass, and not tell me why. I, on the other hand, have to guess what will make them happy, what will piss them off, and pick a number somewhere in-between. By the way, I don't have access to the mountains of data they have to base my claim on. It's not just difficult, it is impossible. I, as a single entity, have no reference to how my skill, ability, certifications, etc., stack up to the market as determined by this group. How about making me an offer that I can either accept, decline, or counter. That's what a negotiation is. Just like buying a house. The company is buying a product, and wants the best deal possible. I am selling a product, and want the best deal possible. Let's talk.

[@mll2716]

I've enjoyed watching your videos! I applied to a company that I've been wanting to work for basically quite some time now. Applied end of July. HR contacted me at the beginning of Aug. Had an initial interview with HR middle of Aug. Had to do IQ and math testing. Then got called for a second interview with the hiring manager at the end of Aug. Now into Sept. I was offered the job a week after the 2nd interview. They had me do a credit check, background check, and drug test. Then a week later, now into the middle of Sept. they finally said everything is good to go. Needless to say they low balled me an offer and I have to wait til Oct. to start. I have 5+ years experience in the role with many other things I can excel within the position. Basically I am taking a lower position than I left previously. I countered an offer and they will not budge. I know I will exceed their expectations. I really wanted to get this job and with all of the hoops I've been jumping, and being low balled, not to mention It's quite the commute, I really hope it's worth taking the job.

I look for hourly wage jobs, but went to the first interview I managed to snag this year that didn't have a posted salary (or a range of hours, but I didn't think about that at the time, I was just excited to finally get an interview). I figured it was a department store (small town, admittedly) and I'd research basic pay rates from similar companies. The hiring person was pleasant and fun but I felt that pit in my stomach when they said it was $9/hr and 10-15 hrs/wk. Had I known the weekly hrs, I wouldn't have bothered applying, but that hourly was the major blow. I'd need to try and juggle 3+ jobs and hope the hours didn't overlap to make it in the same realm as affordable (if I neglected that it would be a waste of time & gas).

[@tallyp.7643]

@airthrowDBT I just worry more now because some jobs that formerly WERE putting an hourly wage (or range) on the posting suddenly started taking them away. Makes me wonder if they're overhauling and gonna post an increase to compete for better workers, or they removed it so they can low-ball the hell out of the rest of us.

You don’t have an offer until you see an offer. Robert Half recruiters are notorious for keeping candidates on the hook after the final interview telling them that an offer is being worked on.

I'm still at the "sending cvs and receiving no response" phase and I just don't know why. I consulted two headhunters and they told I'm a pretty good candidate. My only theory here is thst a lot of these job postings doesn't really exist anymore and there's a specific thing they don't about me. Whether I'm living in a latin american country or I stood too long without working. The last one was because I got fired due to shortage crysis and since then I wanted to rest and study new tech to find a shift in career opportunities within the tech industry, same as I was working before but with more of a back end and game development approach. And so far, I don't see any results... It's exhausting, but thank you, at least your videos help me through.

They asked me a few more clarification questions about salary etc. They then said they will have an answer sometime tomorrow or whether or not they will move forward with the offer or if they will decide not move forward. I am so confused. And I have another offer from another company but this one pays more and it’s a manager role. Why are they doing this. I got all excited. I celebrated the weekend and now this.

[@occupationalhazard]

@airthrowDBT I'm certainly leaning into my portfolio now. It seems the resume/CV is only an ATS test, as the hiring managers only care about published games. They are usually impressed with my tech test submissions, but I'm usually passed up for a candidate with a small amount of AAA experience, even if they never published their own games. That's fair, since if they value prestige over gumption, our values differ.

I find a lot of encouragement and made a lot of friends, but there is very little in the way of job leads that don't immediately result in a "we are moving forward with other candidates". With all the layoffs in the industry, even AA and Indie Studios are going rabid snatching up AAA talent, even when their skillset might not be optimal for their workflow.

You can't get experience, if people only want experience workers or workers with like an A average GPA. So where do inexperience people get experience?

Why do you think women get offered lower salaries than their male counterpart? Is there a bias involved with people who determine the salary offer?

If a women is making the decision they will do this out of pettiness

The "gender pay gap" is a myth, men do more overtime and riskier jobs and that's the only difference.

Got a spicy question for a video/comment: Generally speaking what is a larger issue in hiring departments, biases against age or weight (obese candidates etc.)?

[@benliftin4awhile]

I don’t think it’s a bias if it gets in the way of the job, if you’re obese, you’re probably unfit to do much more than an average sized person if the job is any bit physical, good question though.

I’m used to interviewing primarily with smaller startups, and the process never takes quite that long. Luckily, early on, I made the company I’m getting an offer from know that I have a pretty hard deadline that I needed to impose in order to let my current company know I would be leaving, so it’s really up to them to make it happen as fast as possible 😬

Disagree with the pedigree piece. I’ve seen quite a few startups and tech companies where coincidentally (insert sarcasm) all the employees are Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc grads. Sorry but unless your job requires is stating (Harvard, Stanford Yale) there’s a bias towards pedigree just by the interviewers.

Mate , can't relate to this. Must be an American thing I suppose. Never heard employer play some games on salary . They know you would not stay too long if they don't pay fair money. Don't see how offering less helps an employer??

[@Jupiter1423]

This is a random question but i really need advice. I was laid off from a big tech company in may - ibm. I was in rehab for alcoholism in jan-feb. Im almost positive this is why i was ultimately laid off, but its in the past. Every single application asks if ive had a disabability and an option says "no and ive never had one". Is it okay for me to click this? Can they find out i filed a short term disability claim? Im so nervous to put "i dont want to answer" in fear of being discriminated against. Ive been sober 9 months and am trying to change my ways...its like im being judged for something i had no control over :/

How would they logically find out through the background investigation which only look to see if you have a felony. They can only find out if you foolishly volunteer the information.

[@asadb1990]

@chattingman6777 yeah i recently had a background check early this year and was worried they would actually check with employer for proper dates because i got laid off in between but on paper i had no gaps. I gave them the number of a family member to pose as reference but they never called them. And im still here 7 months later so either they don't care or they never thoroughly checked.

[@chattingman6777]

@asadb1990 I understand people want to be inherently honest. However how does that work when employers are inherently dishonest. They encourage people to use critical thinking to get the job.

That's situational it depends where your living and how many jobs your working at a time. Blue collar workers obviously understand multiple jobs make more money. Yet white collar workers don't understand this basic mindset. Unless your contract specifically says you can't work for other people then getting another job in your field is logical.
