Contacted by a recruiter for a phone screen.
Made it to the onsite, but the recruiter messed up and thought I was local.
Last minute, she scheduled me for a video conference that was to act as my onsite.
Did well on my “onsite”—three one-hour interviews with three different people.
Recruiter came back with good news and asked for my salary expectation.
I gave a reasonable market rate for a software engineer of my level in the Bay Area.
Was told that, "That is too high; base will probably be less than $100k. I will talk to the team and get back to you."
Did not get back to me.
Emailed her twice before getting a short response about not moving forward due to my high salary requests (even though it's market rate).
Look elsewhere if you want to be paid what you are worth.
Algorithm questions... pretty easy.
