Matters Arising ... AI Startup Scam

Builder.ai, once an AI darling with $250M+ from Microsoft, SoftBank & co, just collapsed. Turns out, there was no AI—just underpaid devs doing sloppy work. Complaints piled up, projects failed, and revenue figures were inflated 5x. A partner bank’s audit exposed the rot. From Reddit to whistleblowers, it’s looking like a massive scam. Is this the first pop in the AI bubble?

Hello all,

I have an Interview with Atlassian for a pre sales solutions engineer role in Canada that requires 5-8 YOE . What's the salary range I should be aiming for ?

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?

Do you still have opportunity to negotiate salary when you’re going thru a recruiter and they tell you the range upfront?

Annual review coming up. Looking for suggestions for asks…

8 YOE, Current 125 base, TC ~140.

Hi , wanted to get some feedback on following position offer in New Jersey area
Senior Manager for pricing startegy
I have 4 and half years of related experience,Masters degree
Base salary offer at 150k, 21% SPI and 10% LTI
How much room I have for negotiation, whats the fair market rate for this level?

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
