Job Interview Reveals Salary Discrepancies and Unusual Weakness

Summary

A job candidate's interview quickly reveals a significant pay gap, as the offered $60,000 annual salary with a 10% bonus is deemed insufficient for basic living expenses by the candidate. The company states this is industry standard and negotiable later. Additionally, a new company mandate requires employees to be in the office five days a week, which the candidate opposes due to high rent and commute costs, suggesting a pay increase if relocation is expected. The candidate also misrepresents attending Stanford, clarifying they only visited for a few hours, and is advised against putting this on their resume. When asked about weaknesses, the candidate claims 'women' are their biggest weakness, explaining it leads to 'crowd control' issues requiring significant security if they were to work in-office, and suggesting remote work to avoid these complications. The company states they will be in touch next week regarding a potential second interview after all candidates have been seen.
