So I recently gave an interview to a company, cracked it and got offered 50% hike but I was very hesitant joining there because they said they'll demote my role to a Jr Engineer, because they said my code wasn't as good as they wanted.
The task was to add a new feature in their codebase, all I did was used the existing transformers, methods and I just wrote a new one for the feature they requested, it worked flawlessly without a single issue.
So, their existing code had issues and they counted that into my assessment and said they'll reduce the salary promised on their job listing by 40%.
So I first said yes, I was just looking that hike my my salary, later to omly realise, I keep seeking for validation when working there rather than working for shipping features.
So, I actually turned it down.
Did I do the right thing?
Always choose a company which gives whatever hike in a willing manner. You might get a good hike, but if they are not happy, they will constantly have unrealistic expectations in everything you do, and will the first person who comes in their mind during cost cutting. Speaking out of experience
If they're playing games from day one, What's to stop them from preventing promotions using dumb excuses down the lane?
Absolutely not worth it.
Made a Good decision.
No you didn't, you should accept if its in ur favor, we dont know what's coming tomorrow, do we?
What's the present compensation and location? Is the targeted company a product or service based or startup firm?
It depends on the absolute number actually but there’s no point in thinking about it now as you’ve already turned down the offer.
Instead, find a better one!
