i did start up once and they lowball me like mad citing only increase 20% from last drawn
then i learned my lesson liao
the other day some recruiter called and after all the screening he finally told me its a startup, the pay also 20% of your last drawn
i say let me think about it
then next day say nah dont want, he was so mad he just ghost me and didnt even thank me for my time and whatnot
they really think they are god in this economy
the worst is the startup really think they can try to scam me again with 20% increase from last drawn to basically do a one man show kekwa
i feel you man

if ur making 10k/month and the jump is 20% ok la, that one can understand.
but if ur making 3k and the startup wants you to one man show for 20% increase u want?
last time i kena in the beginning for 3k, one man show, gila siot
the stress and the unknown on all the legislation and protocol was quite high and for 3k i kena lmao by my friends for being stupid
i learned alot in that role but it was such a broad experience that future employment was not impressed by the lack of specialization.
but if they offer me to one man show for 10k +20% now idk if i would take it
