Ask HN: Is bait and switch jobs common in IT

2 pointsby 100-xyzabout 4 years ago
Hi,<p>I started an application process for a Senior Software Engineering Manager position in SV. Its an approx 150 employee company lead by elite univ alumnus.<p>Everything went very well, phone screens, tech screens, behaviorals .... I actually enjoyed the interviewing process and like the company.<p>Then the job offer came and they made an offer for Engineering Manager Position (no Senior). That has left me completely confused.<p>Has this happened to other folks? Would this be an honest mistake on their part or are they just crooks? If it was non-senior position I would never have applied. It was very anti-climactic for me :-(<p>What do you think?

Sure. You&#x27;ll be offered the lowest thing they think you&#x27;ll still take. Whether that means not giving you a vanity title, or low-balling you on salary, equity, or other things, they&#x27;ll try it.
