I was recruited over LinkedIn to manage a new team that Facebook was building. The process took three stages: 1. phone screen with the recruiter 2. videoconference interview with the hiring manager 3. three-hour on-site with six different interviewers, all 1:1 except for a 2:1 lunch. Although I received an offer, I turned it down. At the time, I was working at a competing Silicon Valley tech company, where I had been fast-tracked into a very quick promotion. Early in the interview process, I told my recruiter what my total compensation and rough salary expectations were. I was surprised, then, when the recruiter made an offer with a base salary that was $12K less than what I had been making. More insultingly, the total compensation of the offer was _$60K_ less than what I was making at the time. The recruiter said the company was unlikely to budge much on either fronts because it was consistent with the level of the role. Needless to say, I found the $60K delta to be an absolute joke. For many, $60K is an entire year's salary. I also couldn't understand why the recruiter would waste not only my time but the company's time by investing in a full-fledged recruiting process, even bringing me on site, knowing that he would be making an unrealistic offer that no one in her right mind would accept. Moreover, did he or the hiring team think that just because I was a petite minority female, I would be a doormat? Even if this assessment wasn't a conscious/intentional one, the offer was honestly a damning testament to the company's utter obliviousness at best or flagrant disregard for diversity and inclusion.
