Bob Schroeck Wrote:Oh, btw, two days ago I had the best "Sorry we can't hire you" call I've ever had. I think I've mentioned the outfit that interviewed me by phone two hours after I sent them my resume, who gave me an aptitude test to take while I was dosed with cold medicine. Well, they got back in touch with me on Wednesday, and the woman at their HR started by practically gushing about how impressed everyone there was with me and how much they'd love to have me working there. But... no one had told her until the last couple days that the opening was entry level and they could only pay $35-45K -- and while I had said I was flexible about salary, she didn't expect me to be that flexible. (And she was right.)
Okay, new developments.  The HR person just called me back -- apparently they want to see me after all, and are willing to up the salary ("be flexible" was how she put it; no specifics were mentioned).  So now I have a huge multistage second-round interview on Monday afternoon in Manhattan, with everyone from the HR director to the CTO.
I'm not sure whether I should take this as looking like an amazing candidate, or that everyone else they've talked to really sucks.
