What do you do, when a recruiter throws you a PD or two and says the total compensation is ~2-3x what you're on now?! 🤔

@prologic you take a look at it, see if it is a good fit, ask the headhunter more details about it, and the company they represent for this hire, bring the results clearly, simply stated, but without missing any information to your CFO (AKA wife), and then arrive at a decision as a family.

Don't let the temptation of more compensation be the driving factor.

@bender Haha 🤣 Spoken like someone that's done this before 😅

@lyse @bender Pfft, they want folks to relocate to Sydney. Fuck that 🤣 Sydney is a bit like San Francisco, I'm not actually sure which is worse. Fuck'n expensive as hell, the only palce you'd be able to afford to buy or rent is at least ~2hrs out of the city by public transport (i.e: train) and by that time you've just pissed your life down the toilet, because you'd be expected ot work a 9-10hr day + 2-3hrs of travel each way, buy the time you factor in having to wake up super early to get ready to travel in to work, you basically have zero time for anything else, let alone your ufamily,

Fuck that.

@prologic counter that you would only work remote.

@bender Don't even think that was on the cards I'm afraid 😳 But yes I've said that in a message to the recruiter.
