Do you know where can I find data on the first 10-20 hires at startups by type of startup? Example:

- 65% of web3 startups have a "head of design" in first 5 hires
- 40% of Saas CMOs were 10th+ hire

Generic guides out there - I'm looking for data or other sources of interest.

Hi Fishes Functional Tester with 5.2 years of experience with 5.86 CCTC. Wipro is offering me 10LPA fixed. Had HR discussion on Feb 18th. I think I will be offered B2 designation. Is it Good to join Wipro as Functional/ Manual tester. How will be the projects in Wipro. And how long I can sustain in Wipro as Functional tester? Wipro Accenture Tata Consultancy Infosys

Hi Sharks,

Please suggest!

If we accept the offer from TCS, but do not join it as other company is giving higher package than TCS.
So is it like we can't join the TCS in future if we accepted the offer from TCS?

As I only heard that after joining the TCS, if we resigned it, then we can't join TCS in future.

Any insights into Tycko & Zavareei? What are the comps/hours like? Thanks!

Might be an odd question: we have multiple great ideas and sources of funding. Would it make sense to build out a portfolio of the companies as a fund or to build them directly? Concerned about spreading too thin by pursuing them all but all have significant potential.

I have a website/app idea. After writing most of the details, features, and functionality out it now seems overwhelming. For those with a similar idea, did you just make a Minimum Viable Product for the 1.0 version, or try to fit in as many features as possible on launch? I worry competitors will catch on, but then do I patent certain features to prevent that? How long could that take?
