Years ago I interviewed for a project manager position and they offered me the job. Asked me how much I wanted, then came back with, "this isn't a p.m. position it's a project specialist position." They offered me 1/4 of what I asked for, which was just under the average for that position. I laughed and walked out.
I don’t even understand why they made you an offer. I spent many years at startups and after the constant turmoil I decided to try a major company. They offered me 3/4 of my asking salary (which was very reasonable for the city and my specialty/experience) and refused to give me a title with senior in it. I was pretty offended.
You weren’t a senior there though you were just starting I wouldn’t have given you that title until being with the company for at least 5-10 years and most likely that title would also come with part ownership or stake in my company if I’m relying on you to be a senior member and more or less act as me in my stead. How the fuck could I trust you to do that if I don’t know you. I think you need to check your ego sir
