If a new tech city is built in India ground up with most of the amenities found in a US City. Would you consider moving?
EDIT: turns out they do offer maternity leave. 3 months paid. Thanks all! I’m now in my 2nd year as a SWE & I’m thinking of joining a series B start up. They’re offering me a good total comp & would allow me to work from other countries which has been a goal of mine for some time. They have very basic benefits like health & PTO but no employee matching 401k or maternity leave. At what stage should benefits like this be available at a company? I want to be at new company for 2-3 years. If I wanted to start a family in that time, how do start ups handle that if they don’t offer maternity leave? Will I just have to take leave with no pay? If anyone w experiences at start ups could help me out would be much appreciated.
At a startup now. I’d say it’s 50/50 on startups that will offer 401k & parental leave. In my experience you should typically avoid those that don’t.
😲oh fuck lol
401k matching isn’t the norm for Series A or B startups. Parental leave is usually there however. Just not the generous time off that FB, Google or other large companies provide though.
Finix Payments? May god be with you.
Could you elaborate? Is it a bad place to work?
I joined Unsupervised at Series A stage and it had parental leave a standard 50% match up to 6% on a 401k. They also offer things like fully covered health insurance for you and dependents and a contribution to your hsa (should you choose a high deductible health plan). There are assorted other benefits in there as well as a start of a remote stipend a little after we closed series B. Unsupervised is the only Series A/B stage startup I’ve worked for though so I can’t tell you if this is the norm or if it is rare.
