I interviewed for a Localisation Specialist position and was disappointed by the experience. The interviewer seemed disengaged and disinterested from the start, reading through the job description rather than having a meaningful conversation. About 15 minutes in, after hearing the compensation details, I stopped the interview. The offer was 8,000 RON gross per month, which amounts to less than half that net. For a role that combines three distinct areas - translation/localisation, creative copywriting, and content/project management - the compensation was far below market level. When I explained that the offer didn’t reflect the scope or expertise required, the interviewer showed little interest and maintained a “take it or leave it” attitude. Overall, the experience conveyed a lack of respect for candidates’ time and skills. The company seems to expect senior-level quality at junior-level pay, which is neither sustainable nor fair. I hope they reconsider their approach to both compensation and candidate engagement.
