"Design Lead
: Nothing’s designed yet, so you get the blank canvas. Collaboration is key. Drive design thinking as core. Must have built social apps from scratch - and built a diverse, small design team."Job desc on twitter from a fairly serious and known founder for his new startup...
"MUST HAVE BUILT SOCIAL APPS FROM SCRATCH"
Do you see this as reasonable ask?
Would they expect us to have built space ships at this point?
- is the founder DJT?monospaced
- reasonable, yes, they did it?!?
https://twitter.com/…whatthefunk - A reasonable ask assuming they mean “as part of a team”, yeah. Just means you’ve worked on a social startup from scratch. no biggie********
- However, This post is a solid red flag, I would use the first interview to gauge if these people are going to be shit terrible. Any hint of assholery, bail.********
- Scott Heiferman? Should be easy enough to find out if he’s a good person to work for.********
- so do they want design or building as in coding + also management skills to run a team? this is ridiculous********
- but yeah, I guess it makes sense pivoting when your main startup involves gathering people to meet...up durring a pandemic...********
- @nb guess not really? https://www.wired.co…********
- @graf, what do you think this role, 'based' in NYC, pays?whatthefunk
- ^at least 150k?********
- idk maybe I over reacted, too old for this shit********
- I agree though I gather they're aiming for far less these days...whatthefunk
