Wow, usually the "we plan to exploit you" vibe isn't so blatant in the job ad. Edit: I'm not trying to be a jerk, and my guess is that most other HNers are smart enough not to take the bait, such as it is, on this ad. But seriously, if you're a software developer with a master's degree, even if you don't have much experience, please shoot for something more than a subsistence-living wage. The jobs are out there.

  Wow, yeah, this one is really blatant. I'm surprised they use the ".desi" domain, I automatically equated that with unprofessionalism (for lack of a better, less insulting word).

    Well, thanks for bringing out that uncertainty in the post. Subsistence living is probably the wrong word. What I meant was, we're a start-up that's bootstrapping and so we don't really have a lot of cash, but we have equity so we'll do the best we can to keep you comfortable for a short time during which we'll generate the product to bring in revenue. Thereafter we'll increase your pay and you'll have equity. This scenario is probably true for many bootstrapped start-ups. Probably basic would have been a better word than subsistence. Also, I have a Masters in ECE from UC Irvine and worked several years at Intel after that. So, I'm in a good position to guide engineers with that level of education. If you look at our website, you'll find a brief description of our planned product and a link to our Crunchbase entry that gives you more corporate level information. We were incorporated in India back in 2012 The .desi extension is to signify that we started in India. I, the founder, am based in India. It's a totally legit domain extension. Your choice of work location is totally flexible. So you can work from anywhere in the world. We would only meet for planning purposes
