Woman’s brutally honest reply to CEO’s job offer goes viral | Trending

Several people on LinkedIn receive messages from HR’s of different companies regarding job offers. It’s generally common for HR or managers to identify people and reach out to them with an offer. Roshan Patel, CEO of a startup, did something similar two years ago. However, he didn’t get the response that he expected. Now Patel shared a screenshot of the conversation on Twitter, which has sparked a debate among netizens.

“Still thinking about this exchange almost 2 years later,” wrote Rohan Patel on Twitter, along with a screenshot of a conversation. In the screenshot, Patel messages a software engineer and introduces his business to her. He also informs her that he has just received funding for his business and is looking for engineers. To this, the woman replies saying, “Hi Roshan. I just checked on Crunchbase, and my salary is currently more than your entire pre-seed round.”

And it feels very intentional decision you to semi-blur the photo.” A second added, “Bro, you appear to be sharing private messages in public cos your feelings got hurt 2 years ago.” “How dare people try to earn money to survive – absolutely terrible. Her response was out of pocket, but turning down a job strictly because of money is perfectly valid and doesn’t make you a terrible person just because of that,” wrote a third sarcastically. A fourth commented, “Based. It might seem rude, but good engineers get 10 offers like this per week. It’s always 0.5-1% for founding eng at 1/10th the salary of big Co’s.”
