Pretty sure it is. The job title of the OP in pic looks like it's a parody as well.
I once left out the s-word until after I agreed to the job and signed the contract. Let us just say that even if that person was dead I would want to desecrate their grave.
They don't even put it in the contract? What the fuck!
The story of that job, and it was my first job out of college, is one of the worst and most absolutely unbelievable stories that have happened to me, and the effect of that job still lingers on in my mind and affects how I view professionalism at work. It is honestly extremely embarassing.
the image is essential to the post, i couldnt imagine one without it
Pay? Remuneration? Wage? Earnings? Compensation?
I don't hang out on LinkedIn reading social posts. If I'm there, it's too check job posts or answer direct messages from recruiters. Do idiots like this not get blasted by everyone for these asinine tasks? Or are all the people that actually participate in the LinkedIn social feed as deluded as them?
^ Can' spot obvious satire, call other people idiots.
I'll give you a hint, not only is a clearly rage bait, look at this job title.
My guy, this entire community is based around people who post shit like this all the time in complete earnestness. I dont think that its as "obvious" as you do that this particular case is satire. But even if it is, that is only confirmation that plenty enough people post shit like this being serious that there is something to even satirize about it. So, whether or not this specific guy is making a joke, my comment and question about serious LinkedIn posts like it still stands. But you in particular who calls people idiots for participating in the purpose of the community they are in, and acts like a smarmy asshole about it too... you can fuck off.
Asking about the salary makes you sound kinda desperate, or uninformed, if you do it in a physical interview.
Wait until they make a offer then counter, or say you have a better offer, etc
Generally you can use resources to know the range of a company before going to a physical interview. Before the physical interview asking the recruiter the expected pay bands for this position is also fine. Recruiters understand.
I don't have time for that, I need to know what to invest my time in and if it's a no because of salary, I need to know that as soon as possible. Not many people live in a world where salary is not very very important to their living.
don't go to a physical interview until you have satisfied yourself on the companies pay bands
Or any interview beyond first screening.
Asking about the salary makes you sound kinda desperate
this is trite bullshit. it's literally one of the components of an interview. STOP THINKING AN INTERVIEW IS A ONE WAY INTERROGATION. It's not. Or it's not supposed to be for fucks sake, you're interviewing them at the same fucking time and those interactions have informed PLENTY of jobs I chose not to take.
