Entrevista
I declined to provide my current compensation to the recruiter and the recruiter could not offer a range of pay. In 2018 it will be illegal for recruiters in California to ask for current compensation and they will be required to offer a pay range when asked, so I was surprised the recruiter seemed unprepared for this in December of 2017.
The new law is meant to help to reduce the gender pay gap. The premise is that women tend to get trapped in low pay when at some point in their career they experience gender discrimination and pay rates after that are always based on former pay. I just told the recruiter I was interested in finding out my market value.
The offer came in much lower than I expected. I was stunned and ended up sharing my comp details. The recruiter suggested we go back and try to get a higher offer. I declined to pursue it. The recruiter did not offer any particular rationale to the low offer, only implied that's the result of not sharing my comp details.
They would have had to increase their offer by 45% just to meet my current comp. While it's possible my comp is on the higher end of the spectrum, it's for certain not 45% higher than average. I'm familiar with base salaries for someone like me at other companies and the Facebook offer was well below the expected range.
When I heard there was going to be an offer I never imagined I would be turning it down, but. That happened.

There are two rounds of interviews and prep discussion with resource agent in between. The first relatively straight forward. The second round is exhausting which included 5 sessions. Although the questions do not have a black or white answer, the interviewers have their own answer which you must hit.
