During the hiring process Gitlab literally reclassified my city based off of data from a free crowd sourced website with about 10 data points. They struck their original offer and reduced it by ~10k just as I'd passed the final round.
They refused to even talk about it, even as I protested they'd wasted so much of my time and I was about to sign. I walked away and found a much better paying job elsewhere.
- brookst 4y agoThat’s really irritating. Though I guess with the news today, maybe a bullet dodged.
- kazanz 4y agoUnethical, but could you seed the crowd sourced site with datapoints that increase the cost of living data, increasing the offer they'd make you next time?
- brookst 4y agoThis is great. Let’s all pick some random town on the beach in Costa Rica, pump it up to Manhattan-level cost of living in the crowdsourced DB, apply to Gitlab.
