DO NOT PROCEED WITH INTERVIEWING UNTIL YOU GET CONFIRMATION OF SALARY RANGE BY MULTIPLE SOURCES.

I was reached out to by a recruiter who gave me incorrect information about the salary range. I was not provided with the accurate salary range until I had already spent many hours on phone screens, interviews, and a coding test.

My process:

• Recruiter screening (with inflated salary quote)
• 1st Zoom interview with 2 engineers
• 2nd Zoom interview with 2 engineers
• Take-home code test
• Invited to in-person office visit/interview

At the time of the invite to the in-person visit, I was informed the first salary range I was told in writing via a LinkedIn message from a recruiter was incorrect. I told them I would only proceed if the salary range for the job was what I was originally told. They came back to me and said they would not be able to provide the salary I was first given. So, I declined to proceed any further.

Why are you interested in this position?
