I'll share an interview experience which made me think beyond recession A remote, content startup based in Bangalore was actively hiring last year (end of 2022). I applied for role of Enterpreuner in residence (whatever tf it means), mentioned to be 100% remote I reached out to one of three founders, he though pointed out that it will not be remote and I'll have to relocate. Probably a red flag, but didn't see too much into it He loops in second Co founder, who is nice. Shares a plan for interview, with a content assignment (free work?!) and asked my expected salary. Did the assignment, got feedback, not rejected 🤠I asked for 19-22LPA and they agreed. 1. It was more of long form content creation role 2. I did not have formal experience of content, only side projects I had to pull out of the interview due to personal reasons which would have restricted my relocation. But this really made me wonder how much can market give? Now, I am not sure if the startup was really dumb to throw so much money or I was actually very good 🤔

The leaders at these companies know that employees have limited avenues to return towards, so they are exploiting the employees? Comments in either case of Yes and No.
