I just got bombarded by 10 different recruiters for the same Product Mgmt position in security (major telecom co). They are requiring a Masters in IT, 10 years experience and offering a salary that's about 60% of what I make. No way will they find anyone to take this job (it's in the DC area and I was paying my Sr Product Managers what they are offering back in 2005 for non-security products).
@H3athers Oooooh .... Sounds like Ligado. I'm ded.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine No. This is the biggest telecom company in the US that also happens to have an MSSP business.
Common with job adverts these days. They're offering peanuts, want you to know three different jobs, have a degree and ideally no family so you can work yourself to death for them.
Pay? A bit over minimum wage ideally.
@H3athers 👍🏽
'offering a salary that's about 60% of what I make. No way will they find anyone to take this job'
Indeed, and a pretty clear sign 'they' do not understand the position they are trying to fill. That could/would lead to problems in the future for whomever takes the bait.
I suspect someone who values the job title over pay might say yes. I've been in an interview where I finally had to ask why someone one with those qualifications would want the job.
@Dane I actually interviewed with the same company for a Director level position 4 years ago. They made an offer that was also less than what I was making and wouldn't go up, so I didn't take the job.
@InvaderGzim @Dane I doubt it. This is to work on Federal contracts that often don't allow non-US citizens because they may require clearance
@H3athers my experience was just before the .com implosion in 1999. I think they wanted all the PHD's they could find to look good for financing and stock market listing. 🤔 I dunno.
@Dane This is a 135,000 person company with over $100B in revenue. I doubt one extra degree really matters to their stockholders. ;)
I went to go shower and came back to 3 more emails and 4 people reaching out via LinkedIn. I've also gotten 3 voicemails and 3 missed calls with no voicemail.
