Had a job reach out on June 13th to say "here's the remote work policy and also the pay isn't negotiable is that okay?" And I said yes that's fine please save me from my current situation. They never responded. Then yesterday the sent the exact same email. So I called the number in the person's email and got voicemail. Left a voicemail and sent another email. Ugh this is annoying. I'm damn well fit for this job, did nearly identical on the East Coast and I know I'd be happy, even with the 25% pay cut, and now maybe they're too unorganized to actually realize I'm interested even after tapping into my network to have them advocate for me.

Edit: literally as I posted this they apologized for not seeing my first email and confirmed they did receive it

Congrats on the job offer. Did you ever hear back from the recruiters for the ridiculously high powered $400K you applied for as a laugh?

Not an offer unfortunately just an interview. And no I never did :( though in fairness I think if I was in a job paying that much I'd have a hard time not checking emails on weekends and I value my weekends.
