It may seem like advertising tough gig, but the post isn't exploitative.  Comparing it with an abhorrent practice is a bit extreme.  
  
 You have to look at the positives of that post: 
  
 Whoever takes the role up walks into it with eyes wide open on the expectations.  No surprises. 
  
 Compensation is mentioned up front.  No guesswork.  
  
 Even if he doesn't mention all that he has, scaling a startup is a tough hard grind and not for everyone to be a part of.  No pretensions.

Might have looked at positive of that post if it was for a product or engineering role. Not for EA

Product Manager

Sales Manager

I don't understand what's wrong about that post but still if a startup raised anything more than $5M, should offer atleast 12 LPA as starting salary

Chief of Staff

Yes, because they mostly hire experienced folks upwards of 3+ years

Product Designer

“If you are already beyond this bracket, consider taking a cut” like not “don’t come to us, its okay” but rather “I know your skills are worth a lot more but pls still come for some bullshit stocks I can cheat you out of later”

Marketing Creative

It's one of the shittiest possible apps in terms of UI/UX and tech implementation

Still way better than shaadi or jeevansathi or any other matrimony apps out there

Betterhalf is shitty in terms of work and the product. This CEO is a micro manager. Good enough when they have actual substance, not when they themselves are figuring things out. They invested a lot in seo but could not drive much revenue.  
  
 Work culture is despicable, and the founder realizes he is not getting another round in the near term. They could only raise 5m in peak zirp era.

How do you know about the micro management? You are an ex Betterhalf?

Talked to the founder multiple times. Plus a few friends who joined and left

Great work sharing this. 
  
 We need more such posts here. 
  
 When looking out for a new job, we'll very well know which companies to avoid.

Growth And Strategy

I recommend no one touches a company with 10 feet pole who has an habit of extrapolation...and heads I win tails you lose kind of attitude... 
  
 Firstly, you take a pay cut and we'll your promotion is based on performance? Is it clearly defined? Well he is  clear on paycut though. 
  
 And wait, is he showing dreamz of IPO being in a aggregator business which has multiple competitors... I haven't seen what AI diffentiation he has in any tech blogs 
  
 In other word.....1...2...3...ruñnnnnnnn

In 5 year there is very high chance those stock will be zero.

Consultant

Growth Manager

Its not exploitation if every risk and reward is mentioned upfront.  
  
 Just like the Bonds vs Stocks debate. You can either have fixed returns with little market risk and sovereign guarantee or try for disproportionate long term returns but understand that negative/no returns are a possibility in long term and short term pain is guaranteed. 
  
 To each their own.

Data Scientist

Would have expected a bit more polished from someone who is educated from an MIT. 
  
 Setting expectations on the long working hours and weekends are to an extent understandable and a bit acceptable but then offering peanuts as salary is pushing it. The stocks is like having lottery tickets you may or may not get it!  
 I'm on the fence as the company has been running for almost 7 years.   
  
 If the title was a co-founder and the salary on that par - I'd take the job !

Human Resources

This company is scam, their product has fake profiles with international number using a call center to chat with the profiles on the platform, avoid!

These clarified posts of dignified slavery helps a candidate to filter out which companies to ignore completely. 12hrs everyday X most weekends!  
  
 Woahh! There's a thin line between work, grind & slavery. God knows who crosses which one.

Monishaaa, EA bolo beta. This “slave” is too middle class.

People like him have spoiled the hiring for ever.
If they want they can ask candidate to join in 10 mins.
Because of this insanity, so many worthy candidates are suffering.  Even if they want to hire instantly, they are not gonna pay good.

Spoiled Job Market

Software Test - QA

I work with this company run by this middle aged Indian businessman. I get paid 1.5L a month, which is decent. I have 100% remote work. 

When I initially joined, he wanted me to download Timechamp or something on my personal device. Luckily, before joining, I'd confirmed I will not be subject to any sort of monitoring and after much back and forth, he settled for me messaging him everyday in the morning and when I'm clocking out in the evening.

I've only been with them a few months, and I knew this before joining too, but he's very old school and works like that (literally asked me "are you looking for work life balance or are you hard working" before I joined). While the work hours haven't been super crazy (Yes, I've responded to messages and attended meetings at 10 - 11pm, but that's something I'm okay with) but the whole clocking in and out and trust issue thing I wasn't fond of.

Lately, he'd given me an absurdly high designation (think President) and was constantly after me to update it on LinkedIn after asking me not to disclose my affiliation with the company publicly (possibly because I was on an unofficial probation). Lately, for a couple of tasks, he's been getting a little... Passive aggressive bordering on aggressive. Example (absurd, I know, but bhavnaye samjho):

I'm hired for maintenance. He's asked me to find a janitor from Kenya. I have no connections in Kenya, I tell him so. He asks me if I can do it or if he should handle it. I tell him to give me some time, I'll get back to him. I find him 2 agencies in India who will charge us the money and it'll be their headache to make sure the Kenyan janitor comes and cleans the place. He is not happy. He wants to do it "in house" and wants me to find a Kenyan janitor directly. Again he asks me if I can do it or should he do it. I tell him the most I can do is find some options online and give him a list but I can not verify their authenticity, so if he has c

Am I being an idiot for wanting to quit? (Lowkey Vent, maybe)

It’s hard time for the community with these kind of asshole founders enjoying limelight with articles and media sitting quiet on this. 
They have fired almost everyone with their crooked and cruel strategy. 
Lame founders who micro manage and build strategies to fire people. They have a layer of puppets under them and make the whole plan to fire the employees- bhai itna mehnat kyu karte ho yaar, seedha muh pe bol do. 
They’re burning investor money and despite being productive laying these foundations for firing. Layoff everyone then, those puppets desite taking tons of bad decisions are being protected just because they lick their ass and pound them to be rockstars. 
They’ve hired hot girls under them for timepass and so called secret parties. Complete BS. 

I’m still surprised itna karne ke bad they are being celebrated what a country we live in.

Classplus firing and fraud

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Funny how recruiting has become the dirtiest business out there. 
Want the contract? Pay up
Want to secure a hire? Open your wallet again
They have got pay per interview (count) schemes, consulting fees for resumes that mysteriously make the cut, and ..
let's not even get started on the under the table deals : apparently it is standard procedure (%'s fixed too)

Talent is paying up/ asked to
Hiring Partners/ Vendors are paying up/ asked to
Tools/ Product companies are paying up/ asked to
Offers being made left, right and centre

Feels like we're not recruiting anymore - we're auctioning it off to the highest bidder. Screw skills or fit - suddenly it's about who can cough up the most cash

A sleaze fest and circus at best where the highest bidder wins, and integrity is just a joke. Since when did we decide that ethics, merit, credibility and capability were expendable? 

And the only time this gets reported, when someone burnt decides to open up in a close door conversation cause he/she/they dont want to pick a fight with a potential CUSTOMER OR the rates didnt make sense. Everything else is shoved under the carpet.

and when you argue .. you have used our services/ product in the past - you know we can deliver - the rebuttal usually is.. yeah! but we got to start the process again from scratch - cause this org does this differently. 
Right! great answer. 

PS: Still wondering how bad can it get : a CTO's reco was stopped by people in the game. Now if a CTO/CEO cant step over this wire.. god knows who will.

Cheers to the ecosystem 🤦‍♂️ 🤬

Recruitment Racket 2.0 ... where cash is king and values are for sale

Human Resource

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

After 2 weeks and 4 rounds of interviews, the HR informed me on Friday that I’ve cleared the last round and have been selected. S/he asked me to share some documents and told offer letter will be shared in 2 days. I waited for 2 days and called the HR today. Here’s the interesting thing, on calling s/he didn’t recognise me first and asked me which department I’m from, then asked to wait 15 minutes for callback as s/he was on break. Again waited for more than an hour and called back but this time s/he didn’t pick up the call. My question is should I be worried? Move on or am I being impatient?

Just some more info - I don’t have any other offer in hand and the CTC I’ve asked for 100% of previous (last appraisal in 2021) although it’s still less than what is being offered for senior role in current market scenario in Bengaluru. Could this be the reason?

Your thoughts, please.

Selected but no offer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Use this platform to pass inside information, which you think can be helpful had you known when it was your time. 

Revolut ( UK fintec) has three types of ranking in support specialist workflow. Graduate, junior, and mid level. Once you have gone through the test,interview, and all,they will put you in one of these three rankings based on your performance and exp. Generally Grad (0-1yoe), Junior 1-2), Mid(2/3+) .  YOE not sole critera, they can be lenient based on performance 

Grad ( 4- 5 lpa)
Junior (5-7.5)
Mid (7.5-10)

This is true for Fincrime, kyc, kyb , screening, and ongoing monitoring.

FIU and TM crypto pass 1 -2 lac more than the other.

Mid (fiu) can pay 12 lpa even with 2 yoe.

This is for support specialists' production roles.

A 4yoe + 2 yoe in TL can fetch you 15+ lpa as a TL. Again, crypto and FIU can fetch you upto 22 lpa.

Your current ctc doesn't hold you back. Revolut doesn't negotiate hard. 2 negotiations and they offer you or they don't. Its not back and forth with them. 

4.5 ctc has got 11.5 ctc there. 150% hike. 2 rounds of negotiations. Plain simple. 

If you are applying for any role. Don't hesitate to ask more, be your lawyer. These figures already exist. Maybe there are other higher figures too that i am yet to come across.

PS : I dont work there, but 6 ppl whom i supervised do.

Ghosting by HR is becoming increasingly common. This is not only for junior or middle level roles but also senior level. Talk to a prospective candidate and go to sleep. One more round and then go missing again. Repeat the process till the person starts to question the culture. And ya, when you wake up, expect the candidate to leave everything and respond..else, you will go ahead and open the position. 

Anyone else facing this in startups?
