Take offer and keep looking others too meanwhile. Don't stop the job hunt. Desperate? Take it, till you find better job

Fortunately can wait for some more time to switch. Initially I did think to ask for more salary and equity and if they agree to it, thought of joining.
But probably will not now, lot of conditions before joining and they don't even have a team. It will only be me and 1 more guy.

  1. 6 days is tiring. You need to be mentally prepared for it
  2. If you go for it then ask for additional per day pay in your ctc. Don't work for free for the 6th day.

It’ll never be for a couple of months only :)

I wouldn't join tbh 6 days is too much. I'd rather work a few hours more on the remaining 5 then work on a Saturday.

6 Day Work week

Is it common now to work 9x6 hours/week? I’ll be pursuing a course simultaneously, should I incorporate according to that or search for 5 day work week? Can you list companies working 5 days/week?

why 6 days work week

is it like an unknown fact that all successful startups had 6 had days working week initially, because then why are all early stage startups these days have a 6 day work week.

If you want…you can do 6 days work in 5
