What do you all think of early stage startups?

I will go first - It’s hectic as hell, but if you are passionate about the problem that specific startup is solving- it is really rewarding and exciting. But that’s just my opinion not everyone feels the same way about crazy work schedules and WLB which early stage startups tend to have . Please share your thoughts and experiences!

Hi folks, I wanted to know your opiion, I’m a graphic designer at a mid stage startup where i have been working for past 1.5 yrs and now i have got job offer to be in founding team for branding and marketing (which i have good experience in both) of a early stage startup which is already funded, product is good and so are founders. Should i do it?

Hi everyone, I am looking for job opportunities and have received a callback from a startup that has around 20 people in the company. 2-3 are US based, others are developers based in India. I have 1 yoe and I wanted to get opinions about pros and cons of working in such a company. I know learning will be good but I don't want to be burdened with work all the time. Working at such an early stage startups scares me mostly for this reason. All opinions are welcome!!

Hello people, We are building a recruitment platform to make hiring easy and fun. Having worked with a recruitment startup, we weren't able to hire for our own team. Hire first, fire faster mode ON tha humara. So, we found this gap mostly in the early stage startups who don't invest in their recruitment properly. So can you guys please share your experiences with landing a job with early stage startups.

Got a following message from a strong founder: "For the part-time role, we require 20 hours of work per week, and for full-time, we expect 40 hours of work per week. We are currently raising Seed to launch our product, and while the challenge is significant, the impact you can make is also substantial. Currently, none of our team members receive a salary and work for future equity, and you would be in the same situation. However, as we raise more funds (which we have already started to do), we plan to pay market wages. This is standard practice for pre-seed startups." What do you guys think?

I’ve been working in a startup since last 8 months and I am exhausted. The team size is around 30 (frontend and backend). Some weekends are working too and there’s nothing like timings. I am left with nothing but just work, no other activities and no social life. Is it same with everyone working at a startup? Curious to know Ps - it is a work from office job!

Startups life. No sleep, late nights, weekends, no Diwali holidays, not seeing your family for years, unethical Founders, difficulty to build trust with friends and ex colleagues after you moved to startups, what has been your story.

I go through multiple posts every day. Every one is cursing their company. The bosses are bad. Managers suck. Company is fraud. Is it always the company, managers , bosses at fault. How can we create better work environment in Indian Startup’s.?

When I was job hunting a few months back, I told the head hunter that a couple of companies she proposed was not something I believed in, in the nicest way possible. Maybe a dick move, idk. She told me it’ll be impossible for me to find a job in this market if this was my attitude. After that, a month later, she ghosted me when I asked her if she has any leads. I spoke to a few friends and they said it’s a good thing to want to truly believe in what the company does and few told me it didn’t matter. To me it does, because I have always worked in very early startups and I see my time also as an investment. And not to mention, early stage startups are tedious to work in. You lose your motivation if you don’t feel like you’re contributing to a great extent in multiple areas. What’s your take on it? Is it alright as long as you get the money in your account?
