Got a job offer rescinded due to the conflict in the Middle East. Sooooooo blown. Idk if they’ll even reach out later once they figure out their finances and stuff. So glad I never gave notice 😭. Anyone ever have a company come back after a hiring freeze?

This is why you don’t give notice until you actually start at the new job. Companies have no ethics so the two week notice expectation on candidates is boomer nonsense.

If there are no conflicts, then no issues. Especially when you are already in house. Now is it morally unethical, that’s personal. Feasible? My current job doesn’t have me working 50hrs nor would a new one in a matter of two weeks or so. I might not do a whole month but minimum two weeks. There are ramp up periods and ramp down periods. I’ve worked some awful hours before and I’ll do it again for the sake of job security.

Was the offer with a Middle Eastern company or in the Middle East? Scary! Glad you didn’t give notice.

Yes, they are based in Middle East and were expanding into the US. :/

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???

There is someone from Vodafone group services limited who is continuously writing against Scaler Academy and applied ai courses and continuously promoting ineuron, I don't know why he's doing so, both the courses are good in there own perspective Scaler Academy data science program is awesome and on other side ineuron is good and cheap as well

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
