Thinking of joining a startup with $7M in seed money. How much does the CEO/Founder pull in? Saw a Director position capped at $100K, lower than what I make now. Worth exploring?

The CEO/founder probably pulls enough to keep themselves afloat. A buddy of mine runs a series A startup with 20m+ in funding and he takes a five figure salary and keeps every penny he can in the company.

Hello All,

Recently I was reached out by a recruiter at Meta for ML Engineer role. I have more than 5 years of experience in ML but I am not ready/prepared for an interview at Meta. What should I do? Should I just reject the opportunity or at least give it a try?

If I schedule an interview, can anyone help me with resources which can help me prepare in 15 days or so.

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

What should I do ??
