Quoted from desertT1:I almost applied for John's "CAD Monkey" posting a few years ago. Made a comment about working remotely and he said sure. Glad I didn't do that
Be very glad.. everyone that ever did work for him, gave him parts, or paid him money for a pinball that will never be built feels very used.
Quoted from taylor34:The #1 thing you have to find out right off the bat from the recruiter, "is this job paying me anywhere close to what I'm making now?". If you don't, then you just end up wasting the recruiting company and your own time for nothing...there's no point in even starting the conversation if the job pays $20k less than you're already making. That question doesn't mean that the person only cares about money (though it might in some cases) but a lot of times the person is just trying to make sure that it's even worth proceeding. Like for this job, that would be my first question...not because money is my #1 concern, but if there's a $20k less difference between what the job pays and what I'm making now, it would be an automatic non-starter. Otherwise I could interview, talk with everyone, get all the way to the end many days later and find out that it pays way less with no relocation
Job offerings aren't always fixed pay range. If you're more experienced, you may get the work done faster, and in the end be worth more to the hiring person because of your efficiency. How can the company possibly offer you a pay rate if they don't know what your value is? That's not much different than someone asking "how much is my Congo worth?".. Well it depends on the condition, it can be anywhere from nothing to $6k". I realize in corporate america often a human resource person is given a pay range, and they have no idea what your value really is (they're nothing but a sale person bargaining the lowest pay", but I think it's a bit different with pinball being so niche.
