Tell them to go gently caress theyselfs. That is some grade-a arrogant patronizing bullshit. Even if they're offering $TEXAS for a Rhode Island amount of work, it's not loving worth it.

it sounds like they are trying to make you prostrate yourself before them, hoping that your willingness to do so is a good predictor of your willingness to accept an insultingly low offer. "what, you don't like the number i gave you? but you were so excited in your last email! aren't you also motivated by <recruiter copy-pastes the things you wrote>"

toiletbrush posted:I was hoping maybe it was part of an extended meta-interview where the first person to say 'is this serious?' gets the CTO position but yikes that company sounds *terrible* bullet dodged etc they asked me directly after the demo was complete why i didn’t make one and i told them i was proud of having never made or presented a powerpoint slide in my career because it’s one of the worst things you can do for a presentation. they weren’t happy with that answer, i guess

poo poo dude, that email is an all-timer They really are just trying to neg you to get a feel for how much poo poo you'll take. Typical but not typically that brazen Send em the HR equivalent of goatse and move on unless you super need that job. "Here's a compelling story: you guys interviewed me 2 (3?) times and are now saying I'm technically competent but won't hire me until I give you a reach around" gently caress this pisses me off

I feel like the goalposts have shifted several times during this process which has led me to believe that technical expertise or business acumen aren’t the primary attributes you’re looking for. Unfortunately I agree with the team’s assessment and don’t think this is worthwhile to pursue any further. Good luck finding a sucker - PIZZA.BAT
