In such cases, going the extra mile becomes less of an option and more of a necessity—not just for the founders but also for the employees. When you join a startup, you’re more than an employee; you’re a part of a journey, a dream often driven by passionate individuals. While these founders may lack experience, their unwavering determination compensates for it. In this context, overtime is less about exploitation and more about shared commitment. If a startup hires you, regardless of your experience level, there’s an implicit expectation to contribute beyond the standard job description to help the company s...
