They may want just the passionate workaholic candidates.
I've had interviews where they were pretty open about the company culture not being one where you take vacation.
There is something to be said for working people a ton of hours to compensate for talent/skill. A few notable Canadian startups are built heavily on evening and weekend labour of immigrants and young people.
- hef19898 4y agoThey want young, naive people that acceot that kind of thing in exchange for saving the world and some petty RSUs, if any. All the while working to make early investors and founders rich or even richer. In a way, being open about it actually makes sure you get exactky those candidates. As I said, exploitative.
- DennisP 4y ago> in exchange for saving the world Yeah, just saving the world, no big deal. Usually those claims are bullshit, but not in this case. If I had the qualifications to meaningfully contribute to this, I'd jump at the chance and minimize my vacations for the next several years.
- burntoutfire 4y agoSaving the world would still happen if these people got 20 vacation days. The main difference would be the small decrease of ROI for the investors.
