I've seen so many startups, first thing they do once they get that VC money, they move to a flashy new office, add top of the line coffee machines, craft beer on tap, fridges and catering, hire masseuse, team building coach, lease some supercars or executive cars, get some graphics designers, spend days on photo shoots praising their future product, take teams to fancy restaurants, find and fly business class to every possible conference in the tropics, meanwhile developer salaries stay the same or get cut, as company is in a "growth stage". Then people who did the most work and feel most exploited leave, they get replaced by young and energetic Udemy / boot camp taught developers and once the money gets close to run out, they get on a crunch to convince investors to pour even more money, whilst the board is thinking where to build their next house.
