Info for Recruiters
Nice to meet you! I appreciate your interest in considering me for your software engineering positions.
To streamline the process and provide clarity on my expectations, I've put together this page to share what I'm seeking in my next role. This way, we can make the most of our time together.
Setting the Stage: Salary Expectations
Let's talk money, shall we? While it's not the job search holy grail, it does matter. As much as I'd love to pay my bills with passion and dedication, unfortunately that's not how the world works 😉💰
To get to the point: if the salary doesn't align, I respectfully move on. It's all about clarity, respect, and efficiency 😊👍💼
I came up with this fun little tool to help you get a sense of what I'm aiming for in my next role. The numbers aren't etched in stone, but it's a cool way to kick things off 🎉
Salary ⇒ Happiness Tool
Happiness Score: ❓
Are you Italian and/or these numbers look insane to you? 🙀
I completely understand. Being an Italian myself, I know all too well the challenges and relatively lower salaries that many professionals, including software engineers, contend with in our Bel Paese. But, here's the deal: the numbers I'm putting out there are on par with international salary averages - as well as what current employers are paying me.
I firmly believe in fair compensation for the value I bring to the table. My goal is to secure a salary that truly reflects my skills and experience without any compromises. This is my little way of pushing for a change. 🚀💪🇮🇹
