The Indian founder trope...
Take this moment to talk about my first startup founder. He changed my entire perspective and helped my realise the true indian founder trope.
I come from a tier 2 college. Come from a very lower middle class family, thanks to my parents who ensured I got everything for my education without worrying about anything. Topped my 10th board and then fumbled in 12th. Joined a tier 2 private college. Did engineering got placed somehow and then found the founder who showed my the reality and realised how much ego a founder has. He scolded me but never helped me with my mistakes just yelled at me. Started at a salary of 6 lpa then in just 8 months of my journey I reached a breaking point as a frontend developer. Although I left the first company after 1.5 years but whatever I experienced from him was exactly the trope. I truly believe he wanted cheap labor in initial part of my career and I believe without boundaries one cannot survive top 1% toxic things... My routine was to give my 100% and even more in the initial part of career just to avoid his calls. Today is Wednesday and I remember him calling me on a Wednesday night at 3 am just to change a button color. I finally resigned when my health gave up. Today I am able to work peacefully at my new org. I have enough time, money and health to support myself and my family.
Just a story post. He never paid my full and final settlement.
My work ex will be 4 years in August btw...
So finally grapevine is also infested with slop. RIP.
Good. Screw that guy. Indian "founders" bring the typical Indian casteist mentality to work also and think that their employees are their slaves.
True that
That's everywhere even in large public cos, not just in startups. Atleast startups have a reason to it, but am unable to understand in larger cos

It’s very common in IT. Not even IT every sector when you are fresher or learner. Thanks to god even you got the job in IT. Many of the peoples still begging for the job.
Before you left your Frontend Developer job did you have any other offer in hand ? I'm also in the same condition as asking for myself.
