OK, so let's talk about what we, a Berlin startup that I co-founded, do offer:
- fair salaries for the experience and attitude
- no equity, because we believe that a fair salary is better than a lottery equity
- we don't expect people to work overtime and value work-life balance a lot
- we say thank you A LOT
- we hire people who are the best fit for the job
And since we're talking about this: we're hiring a software engineer in Berlin. We are a podcast hosting company, are profitable, have +1k paying customers, some really high-profile. Ruby on Rails, Angular, VueJS, Go, Nodejs, AWS, Heroku. Office in Kreuzberg, 60-65k €. Both founders are software engineers themselves and value solid, healthy codebases. Let's talk if you're interested.

- tomp 8y agoThanks for including the actual salary. It annoys me when companies say “extremely competitive compensation” but then you realize it’s like 50k (in London).
- iagooar 8y agoIn my experience, not including the salary is a sign of weakness of a company. Why would you not include it, if it wasn't that you're afraid your salary is not fair? Or is it that people at your company would want to get a raise (they probably deserve) if they saw what you're willing to pay? In any case: I'm huge fan of transparent job postings and believe that they are a net positive for both sides.
- tomp 8y agoI think most commonly it’s just a game, they don’t want to be the first to say a number because that sets a minimum salary, otherwise they might get someone clueless who’d be willing to take the job for less.. Unfortunately that’s like 99% of the companies!
