This isn't in the field I studied and will not even remotely touch the field I studied. I thought the job offer was good at 29 per annum for 30h and now they've made it to 27 per annum for 40h and I'm not sure what to think. They have a probation period of 6 months and notice of 2 as well. I sent an email clarifying the situation as I understood it but I don't even know if accepting this shitty offer makes me dumb or not.
Yeah I was just looking at your other post about that. I interned at a company for a year that offered me exactly half of what a competitive offer would be. There's some context to it, but I was fortunate enough that I could walk away and love with my parents while continuing to work on projects at my university. Not sure if that's viable for you, but extracurricular projects make a great show-and-tell in job interviews, it got me at least one job, but interviewers always loved it in any case even if it was only loosely related to the position.
If your living situation is somewhat stable (parents or something), then taking up a project like that can be mildly fulfilling and useful to your CV/interviews.
Also (assuming you won't starve or live on the street) you can probably negotiate pretty aggressively if they're gonna dick you around like that. Even reply with a "this is unprofessional" undertone. Bougies are kinda wimps and cave more easily than you might expect. Might not happen here, but at least 30 hours gives you some room to job search, so I wouldn't take the increased hours in any case.
I'm feeling like I've been gaslighted, I swear I remember I applied for 30h, in the third interview they said they would like to offer me full time, I said yes, and we didn't talk salary because I thought we'd already established my basis. Why the fuck would I accept even less? And in any case the interviewer did not tell me that there would be a 6 month probation period and my pay is less for that time. Added to it going from 30h to 40h I feel like I should just say, I would like to do a probation period with them for 27k, final offer. Is this good answer on Monday when I show up?
If it were me, I'd be pushing for the 30 hours if that's recorded in a job description or email anywhere. Like I mentioned though, I was privileged enough that the money wasn't the foremost concern when I was starting out. I think that your suggestion is a good option as well (can't remember what you said their usual probationary wage is though)
I wrote an email asking if they could do that and they said that their needs have change since posting it (even though it's still on their website) and best of luck on my future career. Guess I'm back to looking. FML.
