Follow up:
Worked out! Recruiter actually asked to change it himself the day-of to a different time (he gave me plenty of notice and my fridays are usually slow). He apologized for changing last-minute and I apologized for changing it originally. We quickly moved on and the call went well and I'm meeting with the manager tomorrow, a full day before the original call screen. Lesson: move quickly if you apply for job. I'm already talking to the manager a day before the earliest possible time for everyone else to even talk to the recruiter.
Secondly, I have a different interview tomorrow as well, this one with a lithium silicon battery startup.
Follower-up:
Job offer! (from first one, second interview place ghosted the fuck out of me after the full circuit interview panel)
The good:
Minimum 30% raise, potential for 160% raise if I receive full performance bonuses (which I wont because they just use high numbers to draw you in).
Other dumb tech-bro crap: $300/mo 'lifestyle' stipend (gym, electric car credits), onsite chef for hot meals
The bad:
5 days a week in-office. MUCH of my job can be done remotely and while I'm happy to be in the office for the camaraderie, the 2-3 hours of commute each day is a tough ask
No promotion. This is the same shit I'm doing now.
Weekend on-call once every 2 months.
Are any of the 3 bad issues deal-breakers? Not on their own. But all 3 together amount to a deal-breaker.
