Me: 10 YOE. Been consulting independently for last year, previously been a lead in large companies (not consultancy).
Applied for Senior Engineer with a consultancy company requesting 95k. Completed stages to date:
- Internal recruiter / Talent Acquisition (30 minutes)
- Cultural fit (30 minutes with 2 people)
- Consultancy (1 hour with 1 person)
- Technical (1 1/2 hours with 1 person)
Receive call from Internal recruiter after (4.) advising me that they think I am strong technically but weak on consultancy and would I like to be considered for a grade down – 70-75k. If so then final stage would be founders interview (company is <200 people) for what is now essentially a mid position.
So, they have already had 3 1/2 hours with me with 5 different people at which point they ask me to accept a prospective 15-20% salary reduction before there is still another stage. Already confirmed that if successful it would then be at least a year before any opportunity for promotion.
Thoughts?
