I am joining a start-up next week. My hiring manager sends me emails at 11pm (I haven’t even started). They want me to onboard before I start so I can hit the ground running. Is the expectation that you’re always working?

Yikes. I would say very likely indicative of the work culture there. Did you explicitly ask on that when interviewing?

Same! I know some people are about the entrepreneur life - I’m not at all. All I want is a good / stable paycheck without too much mind numbing working , nice coworkers, a decent personal life, and not a whole lot of guilt about the ethics on what I’m working on. I make change in my personal time through volunteering on the weekends. But this isn’t a good bschool story, so I’m going to have to make something up for that 😂

Set expectations because often startup employees work on their own hours. Maybe the manager doesn’t expect you to respond of maybe they log back online after the kids go to sleep

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
