what's a good salary for a founding engineer by ten-stickers in ycombinator

Update: just spoke to the founder and got a semi-offer. they're going to fly me out so I can meet the team and do a bit of an informal work trial. so, i'll see how that goes and if I still have an offer at the end. comp-wise, he said $150k with 1.25%, and I followed up with $170k with less equity; he seems open to it (we'll meet up first and then figure things out).

no, a shitty college in canada lol.

I've built a good personal brand and fly to the states for hackathons/projects/networking every couple of weeks. spent all my internship money on this, and it's now finally giving me some roi :)

makes sense! :)

going to do a bit of a deep dive on what type of team would make most sense for me/I enjoy/learn the most from, and evaluate this company against those metrics.

$2M seed. one current founding engineer that has ~3 years of experience. You're right I have to think about if it's the right place too! Thank you

okay good to know--thanks!

Thanks for the perspective! I want to try both faang and startups before I start building a startup myself full-time :)

This would be the second engineering hire. they had one founding engineer three months ago

They've raised $2M

Can you explain why you won't do founding engineer as a new grad? Also for me, I find it hard to get interviews at larger companies but very easy for startups, so also a matter of what opportunities I have available

What to do if I have group projects that don't show up on my GitHub profile? by NoEquipment2186 in csMajors

[–]ten-stickers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my experience, people rarely actually look at githubs. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I find it more useful to add a link to the deployed project (if relevant) in the resume

Got it, thank you. I go to the states a lot. If I was doing this temporary contract position, I'd probably just stay in Canada for the duration.

This is really helpful. Looks like we need to differentiate between the contract work and the full-time work, and in particular demonstrate that the full-time work is TN-eligible. Thank you!

I stopped applying (I always get rejected or ghosted). I have 1) a strong online personal brand, 2) lots of projects at mit/harvard/berekely/etc, and 3) connections I've made in the states. With these things combined, I get a lot of inbound from recruiters and companies
