Exhausting is a good description. I don’t mind people seeing me from time to time when i feel like it. But man I am so much more tired when having the camera on after and during a meeting.

You could then simply zip off some more from your belly fabric and append-zip it on your arms. Or if you’re even colder, zip it on your neck to get a polo neck. Hell, ideas are coming in!

Perhaps we are pronouncing “university” just incorrectly. Perhaps in the days of creation of the university it was meant to be a word for “un-diversity” -> “university”

I totally understand, but I’m always conservative and skeptical whether more than just anonymous telemetry is gathered.

/s? 🥺

But seriously, you have to! He’s testing the grounds. Get out now or submit!

True enough. Yes, I would expect them to move towards my expectation once they got to know me better and once they see that I might fit into the team quite nice. At least I believe it more likely than weeding me out based on numbers in the very first call. I too don’t have enough experience to know whether this is realistic. I just know that my current employer would lean into that way of thinking.

But, it seems that many companies can still afford to weed out candidates by numbers, at least here in Germany. So, I just have to do me as long as I have a secure position and otherwise, otherwise.

Congratulations 😄

I often get ask about my salary expectation in the very first 10 minute interview with the HR person, before even getting the chance to talk to the team. Being sincere, I wouldn’t get to follow-up interviews if I told them my expectation that they would definitely see as too high.

How do you deal with that situation?
