Unemployed but denied job offer for 60k

[AnorexicBodyBro]

Not sure if going for junior jobs when you are 27 and then rejecting them based on salary+position is alpha..

The job posting said nothing about "Jr." in the title. That was added in the job offer and I wasn't cool with that.

I won't tell you the website I was making a lot of money on, but here's a website I created but gave up on (too many lies and it was getting too ridiculous, so it's more of a proof of concept website)... www.marriagehero.com That gives you an idea of how you can sell thoughts.

I came up with the idea from this website and I said to myself "hey, I can probably do better and this guy is making a lot of money and has a lot of traffic on his website". http://www.marriagemax.com/

That is a really good looking website, you made that yourself?

sorry OP no alpha for you

Thanks. I bought the template here: http://themeforest.net/item/karma-cl...emplate/234990

And then I wrote the PHP/MySQL code to make the website work the way I wanted (i.e. user login, quiz, payment although I cancelled the payment gateway/ssl stuff, and all the dynamic stuff), made the logo, changed some stuff around, etc.

so your resume should basically read snake oil salesman

How you liking that title of unemployed and salary of zero dollars?

This.

The random backlink stuff is ban-worthy from google and no long term company would engage in those practices.

Also congrats on going from EE to a junior web developer in 1998 technologies and skills.

I'll repeat myself and say that web development is a much better skill than EE. With web development you can create a website business when you think of an idea and ceo 10k/day. No matter how far you progress in EE, you'll always be a slave to an employer or you'll create your own EE business and work your ass off and die early from heart problems.

Updates?

[BadaBingBdaBoom]

I don't think the OP's decision so much that is rustling me as but rather his avi. It makes me mad for some reason.

[Time2bringitout]

phack you OP!! I would take that in a hard beat.

I am an unemployed mechanical engineer and I am waiting for the company I interned with to offer me a job. They plan on starting me off at 53Kish in Cali. I am going to take it if they offer it to me.

I hope during the week, I get two job offers.

Read the part earlier in this thread I wrote about the cover letter, it's a total game changer and can potentially raise your salary $10-20k+

[SOUPtheEXTREME]

The Junior status is worth a monetary value to you. Which in itself is dumb. If it bothers you that much, bringing it up should only be used as a lasting hold piece before accepting a deal.

Eliminating that irrelevancy. You crazy mang.

[CzechDiesel]

lol, I can buy a site like OPs for 20 bucks, change the colors and logo, and boom.... I guess I can call myself a web designer.

Front end stuff is the easy part, it's the backend stuff I'm interested in.

yeah thats a helluva tip man. I have been navigating the career stuff successfully for a while now, but that tip just seems GOLDEN

also i find this thread amusing because in the current climate it's not as easy to be able to drag a company around like that. it's awesome.
and I agree that the Jr title is gay in most cases. if you can shed it, it will work for you in the future. the next hiring company will use that Jr sht as a reason to offer less money, or even look at the candidate in a different light

[jganer]

This is my resume.

Not bad.

[mozzer6]

Literally some of the most delusional people ever on this forum it's unreal.

[SystemTrend]

You have good work experience from other companies or just a degree? seems like a good offer if you have no or little experience.

[Wolfex]

Do you even understand cost of living?

60k San Diego =
70.5k Denver
71k Miami
76.9k Chicago
85k Atlanta
87.6k Omaha, NE
90k South Bend, IN
93k Juneau, AK

Yeah strong poverty

Lmao, if you think making 60k a year is poverty you are a ****ing dumbass. A man does not need that much money to live comfortable. Unless you've been sold that horse **** that you need a large house and an expensive car and high quality clothing to be comfortable. ****ing North America, a ****ing joke.

[biggoron]

since when is 60k and 73k crap salary?

[mozzer6]

since when is 60k and 73k crap salary?

Since people on the misc think there going to be making a mil a year asoon as they have there degree (srs)

[comore07]

[AnorexicBodyBro]

so how much more did they offer you bro

Should have an update soon today.

[Crease1234]

Interesting thread. OP, who do you create websites for? Other companies? Or do you think up of a business idea, and create a website off that?

[AnorexicBodyBro]

Well, I negotiated $50k up to $60k with another company and they have a 32 hour work week. Probably going to tell the $60k company that I originally made this thread that I'm peacing out unless they offer like $70k.

$29/hr vs. $36/hr basically.

[AnorexicBodyBro]

Originally this guy suggested $40k probational period and $50k salary. Dat feel when you request $15k more than he suggested.
