Going Fishing

2/7/2025

Had a great conversation with a rock star candidate prior to his interview.

Future leader type of person … Sr. VP or President, etc.

10 years of experience.

Technical degree.

BSEE.

Personable.

Go-getter.

Strategic Thinker.

Making $50K above the compensation range of our opportunity.

Why are you interviewing for this position?


Every couple of years, I like to get out there, and interview, and see how Iam doing in the market.


OK, I get it.

You’re doing great in the market.

Going fishing.

I think you are great, and I’d like to stay in touch, and get you involved in some positions that are a better match.

But I’m not going to let you interview for this role. The compensation gap is too big.


Hope you catch something in another pond.


14-28, cold, and power is out in Novi.

Make it a great day, everyone!
