It had passed 4 years since attempt 1 <\/a>and I had been 5.5 years at Oracle at the moment and decided to change the scenery.<\/p>\n

I applied to every company that had something related with Java or Weblogic.<\/p>\n

I ended up applying here again.<\/p>\n

I was approached by a recruiter who used to work on Crossover, very nice person.<\/p>\n

I had 1 tech interview( aced it) and 1 interview with the hiring manager (aced it again) but they took too long to make me an offer, they made me one like 5 weeks after the last contact, at that time I was already on another company and didn’t feel good accepting the offer.<\/p>\n

Other reasons for not taking the offer were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WFH wasn’t allowed on a regular basis.<\/li>\n
  2. I had to go to US 1 week per Q…which could potentially mess up my classes.<\/li>\n
  3. The offer $$$ was the same. At the initial time I was making X and now I was making 2.5X, why will I accept and continue to earn 2.5X?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There was a back and forth on increasing my salary since I knew those extra 5 weeks they were looking for candidates.<\/p>\n

    In the second to last call, they maintained the offer in 2.5X and I hesitated, asked them to give me a day or 2 to think about it, since I was already pushing for 3-4X of my previous salary for the embarrassment of leaving my new company so quick.<\/p>\n

    I thought about it and the technology was better and with more future than the current one I was working, so I sent an email after 2 hours the same day.<\/p>\n

    2 days later still no reply, I send another email.<\/p>\n

    Next day the recruiter called me and told me that there was a salary adjustment and they could offer me only 2.1X now even when I already accepted.<\/p>\n

    I told the recruiter hey I accepted the same day and the recruiter just told me that the offer wasn’t written so it wasn’t official ( WTF?).<\/p>\n

    After some days I thought well what the hell, I will be making more money anyway and the things I could learn there will make me jump to a better job in a couple of years, so I send another mail saying yes.<\/p>\n

    I’m still waiting for a reply from that….worst recruiting ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
