Should i join startup on H1-B ?
Hi, I am on H1-B visa. I have recently got an offer from a startup called Lendistry. Has anybody heard about this company. I can’t find any info online.I have only worked for the big corps in the past and need advise if i should make the move ? Currently i am working on contract (Not with Asurion) and joining this startup will be full time with little bump in my TC. When i read about the experiences ppl have with startup on Blind i am really scared to join now. Any words of advise so i can make my decision ?
Any advise folks ?
I got an offer from them but didn’t work out. During negotiation, I asked 10% increase in salary because the benefits were not good at all (no equity, minimal PTO, expensive health insurance, HR forgot to include retirement package in the initial offer)... they did not even respond back. Very unprofessional. Had to call the recruiter a week after sending my counter offer to find out that they just didn’t have the money to meet the offer.... which is concerning. On top of that, their bread and butter is the PPP loan which is for Covid-19 relief. What will happen after the pandemic is over? Their customer reviews on google are bad which will not help their plan to go public next year. On the upside, there are plenty of room to grow if you work for them.
Dont join
Why ?
