The Leck posted:so i got an offer from a company/team that seemed pretty good, and it's somewhat significantly more than what i expected. obviously, this is a good problem to have, but i'm not really sure how to go about negotiating here, since the number i had in mind to negotiate UP to was a good deal smaller. anyone else gotten positively surprised by an offer? how did you handle it? if you didn't tell them your expectations, then it is time to take their offer, crank it up 15-20%, and ask for that

Ciaphas posted:oh, there it is from triplebyte. yep, turned down because i froze up on the practical of 'implement tic tac toe in 30 minutes', they don't plan to continue gettin yourself hired is a sales process. this is the root of why computer touchers hate it. to get 1 offer, you need on the order of 2-5 onsites, if you're going through a normal interview process. to get those 2-5 onsites, you need 4-20 phone screens. to get 4-20 phone screens, you need on the order of 69-420 resumes handed out. there is no system of success that you can jiggle out. there are ways that you can be turbofucked and fail forever, so you can satisfice by avoiding the avenues of failure. how many at the top of the funnel? how many resumes going in the top go to phone screens? phone screen to onsite? onsite to offers? the way that salespeeps earn their pay is in facing rejection. therefore, paradoxically, the least successful salespeeps have to have the toughest chops with the core emotional skill that they have. but there's no way to be a salespeep without at least facing some withering rejection bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Oct 11, 2018 |
