@socsa It’s not just about saving *that* money though.
Anyone that accepts the lowball offer is either ill-informed, or desperate, and they would prefer desperate employees because desperate employees will bend over backwards and suffer any amount of injustice or mistreatment just to keep their job.
I’ve done this. Told them up front what my current salary was. Tild them directly they could meet or beat it and we’d be good. Went through weeks of interviews.
They offered me a $20k per year lower salary than what I was making. Because that was their salary for my region.
I told them that was unacceptable. That I was uo front about the minimum I’d accept. They countered with a $15k paycut.
So instead you are going to spend how many hours interviewing people who will just turn down the lowball offer?
Then you can say things like “people dont want to work anymore we need ai”
“people dont want to work anymore we need ai which costs us more than if we didn’t lowball our potential employees, but hey, the investors are happy.”
FTFY

They seemed genuinely syrprised when I said no.
He just needs something to do, otherwise he is gone.
