I didn't apply to as many jobs because I was so selective, but the results were about the same.
Last week, I was contacted by a recruiter who told me they had open positions in #digitalanalytics. That piqued my curiosity.
The next question was, "How much experience do you have in web analytics?" - Well... it's right there in my profile!
Then, "What are your salary expectations?". Huh? I didn't even see the job description, but I gave a number, just for fun, because I knew it was going nowhere.
He immediately offered $10,000 less...
When I got the job description, they asked for skills that ranged from technical prowess to deep understanding of strategy. Oh they also asked for knowledge of Webtrends and Omniture....
