I've applied for a job with a startup/ young but, judging by the number of job ads published, quickly growing company.



They invited me to an interview, paid me a flight in first-class, a really good hotel and booked me a chauffeur. I'm not kidding.



That's absolutely untypical in my country, especially given that I'm not applying for a job on a C-level. I've applied with big wealthy corporations before but even they weren't so generous, they weren't even close. My skills are ok I guess, but it's not like I'm the only person in the country having them.



What are some possible reasons for this generosity? I can think of the following explanations:



  • the company wants to show how generous they are so that I accept a lower salary than the salary expectations I gave them with a promise that I will get a raise quickly

  • the company hasn't learnt yet to be careful with money and is doomed
