I got an email from a recruiter trying to place someone in a PHP Back-end Engineer job with 10+ years of experience. First day is onsite in Sunnyvale, TX, after that remote.
So, I email back with a couple questions:
- It's really only onsite for the first day?
- Salary range?
- What company is it?
The answers:
- Yes, fully remote after the first day
- $120k
- Apple
Yeah, this doesn't add up. I checked. Apple doesn't have a location in Sunnyvale, TX. It has a large location in Sunnyvale, CA. And, they pay their senior engineers more than 120k. And, they don't have any PHP jobs listed on their actual job site.
So, yeah, that's a scam.
