"We are looking for like-minded individuals" - how this phrase steals your money
Every startup job listing: "Passion for the product," "Sparkling eyes," "Desire to change the world." Every offer in a startup: below market, but with a "unique opportunity." Coincidence? No. It's a working business model. Companies have learned to convert your love for the profession into savings on payroll. The more you demonstrate commitment, the less they are willing to pay you.
