The recruiter immediately shortlisted me, but went on with very condescending tones during the interview. I was a consultant for years so naturally we have shorter term contracts and higher pay in Asia-Pacific. This has been how I worked in the industry for 15 years, I leveled my paycheck to be in the top 10% of my peers and banked on my International experience, references from CEOs, high-profile CTOs, etc.
He particularly noted in very specific words that I stayed too short. Sarcastic HR does not understand the industry of consulting. We work remotely and give up that dream of staying for a decade in the company. The role he was hiring for was NOT for a decade and quite certain NOT even for 4 years. I stayed as a lead for multiple years for some companies.
Overall, STAY AWAY from lousy HR. They cannot afford your rate. Work for U.K-based companies, Australians, etc.
