All things looked good, then the lady on the phone asked if I was okay with $——— as a salary. For a job at this level, talking salary on the first phone call is a red flag. I said sure and scheduled an in-person.
When I arrived at the headquarters in MD, no one was at the front desk to greet me. The lady I was supposed to interview with was 15 minutes late and offered me a drink, she brought out scolding hot water.
She asked me a few questions and went over my portfolio and website and resume then said she'd would pass my info up ladder and to wait for a call in about 2 weeks. After 3 weeks passed with no call I sent a follow up.
Nothing!
Then 4 weeks and finally I got in touch with the first lady and she not so politely said, "If they didn't reach out, then you weren't a good fit."
I moved on, but found they had posted the SAME JOB under a different name for $40,000 less money.
