11 am Zoom interview. 25 years old, only 18 months work experience.
It was me, my sales manager since he is hiring, and the Candidate(jobless for 10 months)
The position is Junior sales technician.

After a brief introduction, SM stated the offer RM 2950 + com and allowance. here goes the heat

Candidate: Excuse me? I thought you advertised salary from 2400-3200. Why not 3200?
S.M.: We are evaluating based on work experience, you do not have any experience in the technical engineering industry. Though you have experience in sales talk we want to give you the high side salary of the range we advertised
Candidate: What High side? This is very misleading, I can report you, you know.
S.M.: Ha ha, I think you need to understand the situation here.
Candidate: There is no situation, you advertised the salary, I should be expecting 3200.
S.M.: ...
Candidate: I work grab driver even better salary than you dumb company. Good luck.

End Zoom.

3.2K a lot nowadays? that should be minimum fresh grad salary

that's your typical gen z attitude

if you think interviewing them is hard, try mentoring/working with them

i'm glad that there are people like him out there so i can continue to enjoy low Grab fare. it would be a waste for him to work in any other field.

You're going to encounter more like this because simply, younger generations are more vocal and won't take shit from employers who're exploitative.

U should see position with experience, with high responsibility.
Ive been through many companies interview. They offer can't even past 5k for an experienced role.

Most big companies really low-ball candidate. I won't lie.

But thanks to all these companies that low-ball, I know my value and I will straight reject if salary is less than market

Don't waste time on company that low-ball, highly chances, position sucks, environment sucks, increment sucks, growth sucks

that's your typical gen z attitude
