Dear Readers,

Thank you for following me until now. I really need your opinion.

You know that I have been struggling with a local offer and a China one (Couldn't onboard due to pandemic). You can read more in below posts.

Now the offer came, after 7 weeks. Everything was as expected, except the pay.

We were talking about an increase of 10%, but the offer came with a 15% reduction.

I felt a bit insulted by the long wait of 7 weeks and by the 15% reduction in pay.

I spoke to the VP and below is the information he gave that I believed.

• It is hard to hire anyone external now. He had to push the CEO and HR really hard to get the offer out
