Wondering what you guys think. It feels like helping somebody else achieve their dreams at the expense of your own dreams and ambitions. I wonder if this is worth the time and effort. Note: in no way does this intend to compare actual slavery to current circumstances
There’s very high risk with equity though. What if the start up fails.
LOL. What a dumb post. Yeah work for money = slavery. Spoiled and such a whiner... I'm a slave but I'm able to drive a nice car, live in a nice home and put food on the table and with the equity I can have lots of money later, but I'm a slave. Go wash some dishes...
That's like saying any form of employment is slavery. Which can be an accurate statement depending on your views.
If you’re mission aligned then you’re working together to achieve a shared dream.
Closer to indentured servitude (I’m joking 🙃 so don’t skewer me!)
It’s a “business relationship” you signed up for! No one forced you. But if you are an immigrant stuck on GC, you will be taken advantage of anywhere!
I joined a start up and they filed for my GC. Now I know the meaning of slavery and pain.
Can't you switch after you get through the first stage?
My i140 has not yet come. Once it comes I can switch after 6 months of that. Till then I swallow my pride everyday and suck up everything ....
High risk, high reward. The same as any investment.
I know what it means. Been there too! Count your blessings, it could be worse!
Wtf is it with some people here taking great pleasure in beating up the strawman. I don't mean to imply that this is anywhere close to real slavery. Nobody likes metaphors anymore. Did I hurt someone's sentiments? Was that really the point of this discussion?
No one likes metaphor no more. Or sense of humor. Your comment lacking some sort of victim mentality and you aren't calling men gross pigs. You will be silently ignored.
Apparently not too silently
