Hello everyone, I'm Terry Today I'm going to update you guys on the situation Oh, right, if you're a software engineer Remember to watch the video at the end About three months ago, I was in Bangkok At that time, I recorded a video to share with you guys My journey in this year's L'Oreal If you haven't watched that video yet and are interested, you can go and watch it Anyway, before L'Oreal I was working at a startup company Because it was too tiring at that time There was a self-media and my own company At the same time, there was a full-time job I was really busy

0:29

So in the beginning of the year, I made my first screw up in my life. At that time, I said in the video that I wanted to take a break for a while. I did take a break for more than a month. I said I had a few options. The first one is that I can start a business and continue to do my consulting company. Or I can start doing some part-time jobs. Anyway, I don't want to make myself so tired. My previous goal was to make a lot of money and not let go of any chance to make money.

0:53

Well, I didn't do that. This is why the title of the video is "I lied to everyone." I actually lied to myself. But what I want to clarify is that I really thought I would do this. I did do it in this direction. I've done my mental preparation.

1:14

I had a friend who suddenly met me. A good friend. We've known each other for over 10 years. He told me, "Yo, Terry, come to our company and help me." At first, I didn't want to do this. I said I really didn't have the time and the energy. If there was anything else I could help, I could try to help you. But I couldn't get a job. And I was just not willing to continue working, so I lost it.

1:38

So I agreed to it. There were two main reasons why I agreed to it. The first reason is that this is actually my friend's second company. Actually, four years ago, his first startup was hiring founders.

1:58

Initial survival, 90% of the new founders will be fired. Only 10% of the new founders will be able to get A-Round after getting the seed.

2:26

After the A, B, and C rounds, more and more companies will be eliminated. There are very few companies that can really hold out to the end. In general, only 0.1% to 0.5% of new companies can have a good exit. That is, IPO or high-end acquisition. As I mentioned earlier, this company is the second company of my friend. His first company was quite successful. Now the market value is about $500 million.

2:50

So he actually has a good track record. And I actually watched him start his own business from 0 to 1. He worked from 3am to 1pm every day. At that time, he slept on my sofa for a month. Anyway, he's a hardworking founder. Because I've worked with a lot of founders, I probably know which ones are really potential, which ones are likely to succeed, and which ones just make a mouthful. Like me, I just make a mouthful. Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons. I was cheated by a good friend who I trusted.

3:18

So my plan to slow down was ruined. It was like a new 0-1 process. The most painful process for a new startup. Sometimes I doubt if I have a tendency to be bullied. Anyways, we are hiring software engineers now. Our goal is to build the core department of R&D in Asia-Pacific region, especially Taiwan. We have two engineers and one designer based in Taiwan. Three of them are in Vietnam.

拿到了一个完全不符合心理预期数字的offer

4:01

It's a waste of time, so I don't want to waste your time. Plus, my channel has always been about public transparency. The company's culture is also like this. So we just make this figure clear. Because the company's equity is more complicated, because it involves the valuation of our next round of financing. So how much of the specific equity will be discussed with you at the offer stage? Then I will share my personal thoughts. I think the salary part is not so important. I think the final value will be the equity part.

4:28

And as long as the company develops according to our route map, the salary will also keep going up. Let me introduce the background of the company and the interview process. The company's name is Palitics. You can go to the Palitics.ai website. The two founders graduated from the same school, Waterloo.

4:44

Paul's background is VC, and my friend Arthur is CTO. As I mentioned earlier, this is his second company. Our main product is to protect the patent and smart property rights industry, to help the legal department and the law firm to fight for the patent and protect their IP. Currently, the company is in the seed phase. There are about 20 people in the company.

5:05

Cultural track

5:28

最後我們會一起工作一整天,然後就是offer 因為公司是全部遠端,每個人都是遠端工作 所以我們有北美跟亞太兩個工作時區 在台灣的同事也可以正常白天時間工作,不需要日夜顛倒 技術方面的面試我們不會考LiCo的問題 因為LiCo CHPT就會做了

5:47

All the technical interviews are practical applications. The key to the survey is how you solve the problem, how to communicate, and how you work. I still have to be honest. This job is not easy because our team is small. So everyone has a lot of responsibility. And the expectations and standards are relatively high. Basically, it is the standard of the new generation of the department.

6:05

We don't hire people just for the money, but we really want to do something. If you feel bored working at Google, and you don't want to continue to be a screw driver in a big company, and you want to lead an impact project, and you want to experience the process of leadership together, you can consider it. Many companies meet there every day, design approval, and then write documentation. What we need at this stage is execution and accountability. I don't care if you graduated from NTU or not.

6:31

只要你能够做出好的设计,保证产品的质量, 因为我们的客户都是大公司在用,所以这点很重要。 然后愿意花时间跟精力去解决问题, 有很强的责任感,这些都是必要的条件。 我们现阶段要招的人是直接可以开始产出, 目前我们没有那个资源去花时间去培养, 或者是教你怎么去做事情。 那另外就是英文的基本要求, 最低的要求就是能够沟通。

6:58

We communicate with our employees in Slack or in meetings in English. We also use English for interviews. But you don't need to speak English. You just need to communicate with them. Our colleagues in Vietnam have a strong English accent. But it doesn't matter because we can still communicate. The back of the product is Python. The front is React. The back is AWS. It doesn't matter if you haven't written it. Just write it when you start working.

7:21

Okay, I will put the link of JD and the resume in the description box below the video. I hope you can help me forward these videos to those who think that they might have a chance to join us. Then please give this video a thumbs up so that more people can see it. This is a serious recruitment, not a joke. Finally, I want to say that I hope you can join us if you have a resume.

7:42

instead of just trying it out. If you don't have the ability or experience, I don't think you need to waste your time. Also, if you're in the US, we have people to hire. You can check out our career page. Okay, to sum up, we need to hire software engineers. First, they're efficient. They can follow the team's efficiency. They know how to use engineering practice and design. They're capable of developing products that can scale.

8:04

Lastly, you can focus on what you do and communicate with your team in English. The salary is NT$200,000 per month plus the company's full-time job. The Vesting Schedule is the standard of a startup company for 4 years. OK, thank you for watching this video. I don't know why it became a photo video. As for myself, I will continue to share my life, work, investment, and thoughts with you through YouTube videos. When it comes to Tesla, I still have to say, right? Although I will be tired every day, I think it's worth it.

8:32

If you want to support my channel and want to invest in each stock, you can go to IB's IntouCent. IB is the highest-paying stock market I know. In addition to the basic FDIC $250,000 federal insurance, there is also $2.5 million in asset protection. Like me, I put a lot of cash in IB, and I got a 4.3% interest. I will also put the link in the information section below the video. In addition, if you don't want to miss more content about investment, remember to subscribe to my channel.
