Wow, yeah, this one is really blatant. I'm surprised they use the ".desi" domain, I automatically equated that with unprofessionalism (for lack of a better, less insulting word).
Well, thanks for bringing out that uncertainty in the post.
Subsistence living is probably the wrong word.
What I meant was, we're a start-up that's bootstrapping
and so we don't really have a lot of cash, but we have equity
so we'll do the best we can to keep you comfortable
for a short time during which we'll generate the product to bring in revenue.
Thereafter we'll increase your pay and you'll have equity.
This scenario is probably true for many bootstrapped start-ups.
Probably basic would have been a better word than subsistence.
Also, I have a Masters in ECE from UC Irvine and worked several years at Intel after that.
So, I'm in a good position to guide engineers with that level of education.
If you look at our website, you'll find a brief description of our planned product
and a link to our Crunchbase entry that gives you more corporate level information. We were incorporated in India back in 2012
The .desi extension is to signify that we started in India.
I, the founder, am based in India.
It's a totally legit domain extension.
Your choice of work location is totally flexible.
So you can work from anywhere in the world.
We would only meet for planning purposes
