How to communicate why your startup is worth joining
Doing a job hunt right now and im trying to assess &quot;what&#x27;s my day to day like&quot; and it comes down to two factors: what are the people like, and what is the actual work.<p>I want to really like the people, as I&#x27;ve discovered my life is way more boring otherwise. I spend 8-10h&#x2F;day working, I need to be able to laugh and make other people laugh and have interesting conversations. I&#x27;d love to make friends out of it. People often tell me don&#x27;t rely on work for that, but the time investment is too steep not to use it as a social outlet.<p>I also want to know the actual work. Not the buzzwords, or the product name, or fast paced industry, but the actual initiatives for the next year. Crank out new features for mobile app? Not my skill set. Typical oncall rotation? Nah.<p>I&#x27;m shocked how many companies are willing to start the interview process immediately. I decline until I have at least an hour convo with who would be my manager.<p>As per the article, yes more blogging helps but how do I know it&#x27;s genuine and not marketing bs? I don&#x27;t.
