Interview
3 interviews over the span of about two weeks, 2 with the manager and 1 with the director aka managers boss. It was understood that this was a fully remote position and everyone knew where I lived which is not close to any location. Interviews went great, but thought I was pretty underqualified for the job especially since the salary was astronomical so I wasn't expecting an offer. Next thing I know I'm told the night before the job closes that I have the job by the recruiter and they can give me more specifics once the job closes since they have to wait 5 business days to close the posting. I'm pumped out of my mind and I tell my wife and we are discussing all the bills and what not we can pay off with this amazing salary and opportunity thinking our lives have just changed. I inform my other recruiters about this opportunity I've been presented with and ask for more time on decisions which they weren't fans of, but those salaries compared to this job weren't even in the same ball park. Next day is day 5 and the recruiter calls me and tells me all the specifics of the verbal offer, BUT as of that morning its now required I move to Texas to come into the office. I live in Missouri. Never once was this even a thing leading up to this point as even the job posting was for a remote position so nothing says I have to move. Ever. We talked about maybe a week or something of coming in to train a couple things and meet but thats it. Recruiter tells me that upper management denied me being remote that morning of my verbal offer and says I have to move to have it. Financially and a few other aspects I can't make that happen as we just moved into our home in March and my wife has a full-time job as a Nurse where we live. Talk about a punch to the gut and going #2 on everything I've been told in each interview. If you are in the interview process, I'd suggest demanding they go to their moms and dads to be sure what they're offering is real life and not leading you on to the day of your verbal offer. Never have I been led on like this before and then let down so fast. I tried to work with the recruiter and manager to make something work like some hybrid schedule and even cutting the salary a bit or declining the stock options, but they didn't budge one bit. It was just no. Lost one of my other job offers and had to go with option C. I guess you could say I could have asked more questions, but if a job posting says remote, the manager says its remote and the director says its remote, you'd probably think its remote too. Poo these people crushing dreams and not having a care in the world for the little guys.
I got to meet with everyone on the team and talk through my experience and what I hoped to gain from my experience at the company. I got a great sense of the team and what my day to day would look like.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Broadcom (Islandia, NY) in Mar 2019
