What would you do if a startup's founder reaches out to you with a job offer? You would either accept or reject it, right? While a woman indeed did the latter, her way of rejection has gone viral recently.?
Recalling the incident in a Twitter post, Roshan Patel, who is the founder and CEO of healthcare startup Walnut, shared how he still remembers the reply a woman who rejected his job offer gave about two years ago.?
He had reached out to a software engineer to check if she would be interested in working for their startup, and he was taken aback by her brutally honest response. So taken aback, in fact, that the founder tweeted yesterday that he is still thinking about it nearly two years later.
The software engineer's straightforward response is now going viral on Twitter.
The conversation occurred in September 2021, shortly after Walnut raised funding in a pre-seed round. Soon, its founder and CEO Roshan Patel began reaching out to potential job candidates for hiring.?
In the process, he reached out to a woman who was a software engineer, and wrote: ¡°I run a startup increasing access to healthcare by making it more affordable. We just raised a pre-seed round and are looking to hire talented engineers. Any interest in chatting?¡±
The woman replied to Patel that her current CTC is more than Walnut¡¯s pre-seed round. ¡°Hi Roshan, I just checked on Crunchbase and my current salary is more than your entire pre-seed round,¡± she replied.
The tweet already has 2.7 million views and more than 20,000 likes. Here's how Twitterati is reacting to the post.
Roshan Patel was among the headlines last month as well when he created a fake Linkedin profile using AI and claimed to get a funding offer within 24 hours.
