Dear Diaryhaa: Beware of "Life Changing" jobs
Dear Diaryhaa,
On my long list of jobs to stay away from, that look really great on the surface:
Stay away from jobs where someone tells you to apply for it only if...
- You consider yourself the BEST in your field.
- High salary is not as important as stock options.
- Understand that this is a startup: don't apply if you are looking for a boring 8 - 5 job.
- Most important: "You are ready for work that is Life Changing".
What this means is: "We want to get the best people we can to work for as little as possible and make the inner circle of owners/invenstors a lot of money -- you should be thankful and honored to work for us.
Wow...I thought this was only in my age group of greedy, corporate blood suckers... - NOT!!! Same old history repeating itself. You can be any age and buy in to the bullshit of THE MAN.
