I am in an impression that, it is risky to join in early/late stage startup with VISA. But lot of folks are working in Startups. Would like to know whether visa holders are joining in startups or is it only GC/Citizens?. 1. What are the consequences for Visa approvals in startups?. 2. What is the salary (payslip) you get compared to your old company? 3. any other things to consider? Please share your valuable inputs, what all to consider. Will be useful for everyone. #snowflakes #palantir #IPO #startup #visa
OP, I moved from Cisco to a startup for a FTE. It’s a early stage startup which was still building the product when I joined. The pay was good for my YOE. We used to have around 10 people on Visas in 50 members team. Fast forward 6 months they laid 40% of work force in hours of notice due to financial problems. It might or might not be huge risk joining a startup. Either you end up making some serious cash 💵 or you end up leet coding and jump to different company.
Yea joining a startup means you might end up in quick jumps in other startups . More than you ever expected. Also bigger companies tend to look for brand names, so you might get stuck in them for sometime. But again the upside is huge if the startup goes up
As long as startup has funding enough to pay you the USCIS expected salary you are good. Not sure what you mean by consequences. People have joined 3 people startups . You will learn a ton and of lucky make a lot of money . The only catch is that startups tend to be more volatile ( growing fast, growing very slow, going bust, getting kicked off due to differences etc).
