Great video!! Really enjoyed it, though im a little late to the party! Id be curious to know how long you delayed the response to the first offer? Im going to be receiving an offer on tuesday but will be interviewing for a second job (betrer in my mind) the week after. The process should go quick for opportunity #2 because i know the hiring manager and its almost guaranteed, but still. Im also the prime candidate for opportunity #1, and can probably get away with delaying. What do you think is an acceptable amount of time? Cheers!

I went through a similar situation but as a job seeker. Got an good offer, problem solved. I was hesitant to sign because I had a terrible feeling with the manager being cold ,stiff and seemed to be a pain to deal with. I was in a process to get interviewed for another job offering way more money and seemed more easy going. I took the risk to end up with nothing and did not sign the offer letter because backing off is unprofessional to me. I'd rather keep searching than accept a job offer I have a bad feeling about.

Thanks for such a great vidio. I'm going to same situation right now. I got the offer from the company but my gut feeling is that, the company is not right for me. I was stuck. But this vidio helped me to take decision.

Thank you for the video! I would like to know, what are the rightful words that you used to reject the offer that you have accepted and signed? Can you share it with us, thank you! I'm scared to have that talk and I don't know what exactly to say.

Dude I was in a similar situation…. Got an offer that was $45k more (plus a $12k sign-on) than what I make now. I signed the letter, but was still interviewing at another company. The second company offered also $45k more, but total comp included better bonus and stocks… however two different roles…. one is a Director Role and the other was a Principal Role. Haven’t decided which way to go yet….

Congrats on those offers that’s amazing! Tricky situation tho for sure. Not sure I can offer any real advice here

@@GlitZnGold Took the Associate Director role, still hands on from an Enterprise Architecture perspective. Figure this will help set me up better from where I want to go long term. But will only give this place 2 yrs then evaluate if I will look for another job or stay. The role I took was at a Big 4 and that was also a factor.

Shavua Tov :) I would like to ask you about nodeJS and MySQL. which calculations you making in the SQL server and what you prefer doing in nodeJS?

@CodingWithChaim 3 жыл бұрын

I prefer the most ergonomic approach for the given problem. If I find that the problem is too cumbersome to solve in sql then I will just do it in code. In most cases there is hardly a difference in performance, of course there are cases where there are differences and in that case its important to use the more efficient approach. As a general rule of thumb, do what comes easiest to you to get the problem solved, and then when and if and only if there is a perf issue think about how to more efficient. Make it work, make it right, make it fast. This should always be your order.

Hello. I need your help and need your opinion. . I got job offer last week for job A and took the position. This week i got an offer for job B which pays more, about $7k more a year. Job A is a hybrid schedule that works 2 days in the the office while Job B is hybrid schedule but have to work 4 days in the office. Job A has better medical insurance benefits than job B. I was working for job B previously for 4 years so i have seniority there if i take that while Job A is a brand new company. With all those factors said, which one would you take, Job A or B ????

I've been searching for a video that talks about salaries in remote jobs, but no ones says a number. you may be the only one who could help me. I know html, css, js, sass, react, typescript, (obviously npm, git) . I just need a number for a first job as frontend web developer, my expectations a couple hours ago were 12k per year but I don't want to be underpaid for my lack of knowledge in the remote salaries or for my minimalist life. I hope you can help me

depends on where you live to an extent, but can be 35k to 50k a year

I wish you the best ! I’m about to rescind an offer as well ! It was my first real offer and I was too excited and I singed a offer letter(I know .. mistake). The other company called me after I emailed them telling I have an offer . They moved very fast an expedited the entire process . They told me to finish the process until Tuesday saying I’m their top candidate. I learned to wait it out . Also life is too short not to do what you want. My friend’s mom died today after being a seemingly healthy woman last week. She had a stroke , went brain dead , and died all within 24 hours. She was 42 That experience let me know that life is too short to work at places you don’t want to. Just know you are not alone in this .. my rescind day is coming Tuesday .

@Chicago0720 2 жыл бұрын

@Domo it went fine .. wasn’t as a big as a deal as people make it out to be . They were basically like “we were looking forward to having you and we understand and respect your personal decision. Was there something we did in the hiring process that could help us improve? “ that was basically it .

@CodingWithChaim 3 жыл бұрын

I need to be very clear that these numbers are way more than what I was really offered. Also, there is no reason to feel ashamed, the salary you are offered can depend on so much more than your skill level. It can depend on the company, the country and more such factors which are completely out of your control.
