I got a call on the weekend to discuss a role in Luton. It was a permy gig, for a developer. I am not really doing development roles any more and am getting to grips with business analysis, data modelling, and general system architecture. I thought this would get rid of them. It didn't.
Pimp asks, what are you looking for?
System architect role.
Pimp asls, how much for?
North of 65K p/a
Off goes the pimp to "talk to their key client"
Heard nothing for days, until yesterday when lo and behold the "key client" wants to see me anyway.
I asked if their expectations had been set according to salary expectation. Yes. Do they know I do not want a developer role. Yes. Great!
Off I toddle this morning to the interview. Get there and they start interviewing me for a developer role paying 35K.
I politely closed the interview and went back home and called the pimp. Apparently it's all my fault and she has been embarrassed in front of her "key client". Not even the faintest hint of an apology for wasting everyone's time.
