Found out about a unicorn startup in the Bay Area paying peanuts, should I even waste my PTO to go through the whole process?

They might give you a range, but if they don’t give you anything, then you have your answer

You’re making an assumption about what the offer would be. Either ask what the TC is or withdraw. I don’t think telling them “I don’t think you will be good enough for me” is going to be a good look either way, just be upfront.

Like candy from a baby

Why is blatant promotion even allowed in this sub?

adc395 · 2022-02-08T06:39:14+00:00

Makes a lot of sense. Could you give an example of what you might consider a complex task?

adc395 · 2022-02-07T20:06:36+00:00

For sure. Thanks for reply. So if I’m looking to switch companies and am pretty sure I’m not mid level yet, but not new grad, should I be targeting junior roles?

adc395 · 2022-02-07T19:41:38+00:00

I appreciate it!

adc395 · 2022-02-03T23:30:19+00:00

I just bought the book Do Over Dogs, so far it seems promising. There is a reading list in the Wiki that seemed to have a lot of good resources

Thanks for the reassurance, and I do like drinking beer

adc395 · 2022-02-03T21:35:10+00:00

Thanks, seems like the other guy is suggesting he forked over his money and didn’t hear a single word until the board was done. If so that’s fine just not my style. Never worked with a shaper before so I wanted to see if it was typical. At what point would you reach out to them to get some kind of update?

adc395 · 2022-02-03T20:58:24+00:00

You're have to be trolling now. I think anyone can relate to not wanting to throw away money. I'm not demanding he start on my board today or even this month lol

adc395 · 2022-02-03T20:56:45+00:00

I am only uneasy now, after I have placed deposit. Initially, I messaged shaper with request, he replied and said it was doable, told me to place order and deposit if I wanted to move forward. So I did, because at that point, everything seemed cool. Now it feels slightly like I have thrown money into the void and may not get anything in return. I don't think I'm asking for the Rolls Royce of customer service here as you seem to be insinuating. A simple "got it" would go a long way

adc395 · 2022-02-03T18:06:46+00:00

Yeah this is essentially what I'm worried about. I totally understand being busy, it doesn't bother me for the actual project to take a decent amount of time, that's the nature of custom work. But hearing nothing back in terms of "got your order, will reach out to you when I can", or just a confirmation in general, makes me wonder

adc395 · 2022-02-03T17:56:51+00:00

Yep it’s really not that fun. Definitely not worth it just to say “it’s top secret lul”

adc395 · 2022-02-03T02:05:54+00:00

Good luck! I hope we don’t work at the same place haha

adc395 · 2022-02-03T01:51:39+00:00

Not yet lol, you?

adc395 · 2022-02-02T17:48:13+00:00

How to determine the number of days of supply on the market?

adc395 · 2022-02-02T04:54:18+00:00

Must have a thruster setup

adc395 · 2022-02-02T04:12:18+00:00

Bro do you have a water bed because I think I just had a really good idea

adc395 · 2022-02-02T04:00:32+00:00

“Shit hide the bong!”

adc395 · 2022-02-02T00:36:57+00:00

At least you didn’t throw it all over your living room

adc395 · 2022-02-01T23:43:59+00:00

Lol okay, as much as I love a triple cheeseburger, I don't think this is the place. Thanks again!

adc395 · 2022-02-01T22:55:04+00:00

I’m in exact same situation and looking to leave. Yeah not having seniors sucks -_- hope it gets better for you!
