What the f***?

Say to them, “you need to pay me, because you can’t pay rent ‘exposure’”

Possible payroll in future, not do bad.

What a nice job post lol 😆

Ask them for stocks (for free of course).

3 years experience to go work for nothing?

wut the wut wut?

@N00bPancakes Yeah, you have to have at least 5 to go work for free.

Seriously? As an early stage startup, wouldn't you just farm this out to a contractor company? If you don't have the money to pay for this service, then you clearly don't have the money to bootstrap onto a real cloud provider properly.

Someone should reach out to them and offer to buy their product for $0 'for the exposure'.

@N00bPancakes if you have no experience, you have to pay them.

OP, can you ask for them job so that you pay them?

@electrineer no..... I am not paying them any penny.

@electrineer Ooof, what a place that subreddit is. Like the cousin of /r/EntitledBitch.

This is extremely common in the artist/design world, and people always use that same word, too: “exposure.” It’s like they took a beginner’s class on conning people into working for free.

Part of me is tempted to apply to those roles just to screw with them and waste their time.

...then I realise I value my time way more than that.

@johnmelodyme looks like you angered some Malaysian god with your luck streak

@d-fanelli apa hal?

@AlmondSauce

Might be worth it if some YouTuber did it for a video ;)

I think legally you have an obligation to:

1 - Create a fake profile that checks all their requirements and beyond. They are for sure too clueless and cheap to do a full background check.

2 - Schedule an interview with them

3 - Not show up, tell them you had a real emergency (SO or parent at the hospital or something) but schedule another interview, because they really need your expertise

4 - Still not show up to the second interview

5 - Send them an email that they are cheapskates, you voluntarily did not show up to troll them and that no one serious and competent would like to work for a crappy company like theirs.

Yes this is evil.

Meh, you're just overreacting.

I mean, you can just wait with paying your bills and having bread on your plate until the business becomes profitable right?

It's not terrible if you can afford to not make money for a while, good line of sight into the CTO position

@anolis The company will not survive.

I love how it says POSSIBLE payroll when the business becomes profitable!

Haha, reminds me of this one: http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p2.html

@webapp hahahahahaha

@PepeTheFrog let's create a group to spam these bad recruiters. If all of us at devRant do it, we might just be able to scare spammers off of posting shit

I would make all my work, email communication, recorded calls and other stuff public just to make sure I have the right "exposure".

I hate slavery 🤮
