That would be too many red flags for me to ignore.

Just got off the call with the big boss today. So, just trying to process the call, and everything else.

If they are late stage, why are so many leaders leaving?

Its a no from me

Late stage funding and still no enough revenue... That's says quite a lot about the leadership and the shifts. I would not take this role.

🚩 Skills assessment exercise that borderline an IQ test. Shapes, 3rd grade math, etc.

Direct manager, same level staff and business dev seems like people I will like working with. But all seems a bit foggy on what this role will look like, and are all stressed out. 🚩?

🚩Big boss of Finance is a little bit too enthusiastic about how to make the company looks better. It is a known truth that you can do them, but first time meeting someone so enthusiastic. Conversation felt tense, unnatural. Came straight after MBA.

🚩Late stage funding, lack of revenue sources (just rolled out/testing a new source), hires a lot of MBAs, staff takes call on weekends/holidays, and shifting leadership. 🚩

Am I overthinking things? Have been in start-ups since out of undergrad, but when is crazy too crazy?

Thank you all for your honest opinions. Guess working at start-up messes with my perception of what's normal and what's not. 🥸

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

Hey all! I have an interview with
