I work for non-tech generating 100million+ in revenue. Cushy job, fully remote, good pay and full autonomy with flexible hours working as an IC.
I recently talked to a startup, similar pay, culture would be a better fit since it was mostly techies and I'm a nerd by nature.....but things just got awkward as soon as I asked about their revenue....they were bleeding money and I was told they were being acquired by a big corp. Also, the tone worried me, the confidence the CEO presented early in the call disappeared.
I also tried digging deeper into their business and what they were selling, as I have interest in that space due to my hobbies. I literally didn't see a need for their startup to exist. But I'm just an average developer what do I know.
