Without knowing which faang you're referring to, I had a similar experience with Microsoft in Vancouver a couple of years ago. Went in for an onsite and only found out I'd been rejected after the ad was taken down 2 weeks later, no notice or feedback from the recruiter whatsoever. I reached out and they apologized and offered to talk about it, I offered some times, and they never responded.

Yay finally got an offer! Booo it's a poo poo TC package that having no RSUs or PSUs is like 100k less than what I was making at my last place. Don't think I'm going to negotiate my way out of this one. But I'm using it to light a fire under the rear end of the Unicorn that I've been talking to since loving 3/20.

i broke down and did the triplebyte thing, have had two phone screens so far and declined a third (not a good sign when ones adblock blocks their company site) just got off phone with second one, i think i must have mis-read their description or something, guy was nice and the company's growing fast but idk if i want to do the work (that's even without getting into their stack (node.js + getting into golang) or that he was all 'oh remote's fine, our other remote people just come in for a week or so once a month') god i hate trying to find a job remotely i just want to cry

The place I accepted an offer from sent me a non-compete that basically says I can't quit to go work for a client, or take any clients from them after leaving for a couple years. This is fine. There's one part that stands out that seems a little too heavy handed, though: It says I'm required to pay 1.5 years worth of revenue of any "affected" client. The ambiguity of what "affected" means and the previous use of "voluntarily of involuntarily" and "solicit business" all seems a little vague to me. I obviously have no intention of taking their clients, but if I quit and go work for Microsoft and Microsoft winds up with the same client, is that "affecting" my current employer? I don't know if I'm being overly fussy about this. There was no mention of a non-compete during the entire process and to have it just thrown at me with language I don't understand the full implications of is daunting.

It also says I can't do *any* web related work without permission, including consulting, unless it's for free AND for a family member. So the exact wording says I'm not allowed to work on my own projects without permission, whether they're commercial or not. So at the very least I would ask them to clarify that.

This is fine. Depending on your state those clauses are completely unenforceable or mostly unenforceable. They're only there to intimidate you. Fire away

Sounds like they are worried about you running a business on the side that directly competes with them, which isn't an unreasonable concern for a company.

Given that from what I can tell in Colorado, it's not enforceable anyway, should i just sign and move on with my life? I rather want to push back and say that it's rather daunting for me to sign up for a liability that could possibly be hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and that "affecting" is a pretty easy criteria to reach, and their wording is really ambiguous. But I also don't want to be "that guy" and create drama before I even loving start working there.

But I also don't want to be "that guy" and create drama before I even loving start working there. my terrible advice is to just ignore that poo poo and sign it, and just be reasonable (like dont actually try to moonlight a competing business). half of that poo poo would fall apart in court, and the real risk you're running (if you're not literally actively running a business concurrently) is miniscule or at most just strike the extra onerous stuff and sign it and return it

What's some good ways to approach a negotiation on salary? I got one of the two offers I was looking for and it's got good base, but only 'ok' bonus (15%) and no options/RSUs. My last place that I was laid off from was a bit lower base but 40% bonus and some RSUs each year. In the 5 years I never got less than 100% bonus payout so we're talking a TC difference of like 25% I don't think I ever had to negotiate that much. The plus side is they want me really badly, and they're only my fallback if the other offer doesn't come through next week.

Hughlander posted:What's some good ways to approach a negotiation on salary? They put their number forth first. That's good! Now tell them what you want. They'll say yes, no, or something different. It's really that easy. If they reject you for trying to negotitate, you didn't want to work for them anyway; if that's how they treat someone they want to entice, just wait til you see how they treat someone they already have in the fold. It does help to have another offer on the table that you'd be willing to take. Even if it's not better, it's easier to stick to your guns psychologically.

I doubt anyone cares but I decided to just sign the dumb non-compete. The odds that I take an action that they have an issue with, that they actually decide to sue me over it, and it gets enforced despite it not typically being enforceable, are all so tremendously unlikely that it's not worth making a stink over. I will still be working on my own projects and not telling them, because it's not competing with them anyway and gently caress being treated like a child. If they want to fire me because I made a website about some video game and didn't ask permission first, they can go ahead.

You probably already know this but just in case and also for all the lurkers out there- make absolute sure that nothing involving your own projects comes anywhere close to company equipment. don't even so much as google a question on your work laptop
