5 years ago this would’ve been awesome, I asked all of this to 5 employers in SF. Now in 2018 Silicon Valley we’re treated like chattle as coders/lower so I don’t see the relevance of any of these questions beyond signalling. You can be laid off at any time and for no reason or because of prejudiced liars who want you off the team. Call me jaded, I’ve been screwed at almost every startup and told simply that the pattern is me and left to die on the streets. My #1 question is how we feel about lying, followed by how much I get paid per hour (no salary, no options).
- i_am_nomad 8y agoMaybe off-topic here, but: you sound very bitter, and that bitterness is no doubt understandable. I'm currently being pushed around at work by incompetent people who have lied routinely, and it stings. I'm sure the same has happened to many if not most people in the industry. But you and I both should let go of that bitterness and even forgive the liars if we're to move on as people. I'll quote an old saying, "Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die."
