I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bold Metrics (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
- Initial screening: video call
- Easy coding interview: Parse JSON, munge data
- More video calls with various employees
- Culture fit video call with the CEO
- Initial job offer
- Failed salary negotiation
The CTO is also the hiring manager. The first salary figure he threw out verbally was $120k, to which I said north of $150k would be more my range. Their initial offer in writing was for $150k base salary plus equity. On the zoom call explaining the informal written offer he said "you could counter" so I countered 15%. They saw my counter-offer and decided that I was "not a good fit" based on my too-high salary requirements, which didn't make a lot of sense to me.
