To po co ten clickbaitowy tytuł z kwotą w PLNach?
Prowadzicie rekrutację czy bawicie się w dziennikarza na onecie?
Chyba bardziej miarodajna dla przyszłego pracownika jest kwota w lokalnej walucie jeśli ma tam mieszkać.

Btw. jak już przeliczacie USD na PLN to róbcie to poprawnie, bo tak trochę nie wychodzi:

-$100,000 - $120,000+ USD / (448,000zł - 490,000zł +) per year

How is it possible, given that in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 there was a lottery, with random odds ranging between approx. 35% - 69% ? It’s March 15th now, only 2 weeks left to prepare the application.

It doesn’t quite add up… unless we’re not talking about H1B ? which visa category then?

it’s against the law to have the visa costs covered by an employee. So it’s not a ‘privilege’. Even if many companies abuse this law, but that’s sub-standard, and this offer is legitimate (comparable to Facebook, Twitter etc.), isn’t it ?

Hey Mark, thanks for your comments. You are correct - it is against the law for an employee to cover visa costs. This is why we call it out as something standard as we often get many questions from candidates who are not as knowledgeable, asking if they must pay for getting their visa. If you click on our job opening, you will see we list that we pay for visas under Compensation & logistics, not under a perks or benefits section. Hope that helps clarify.

This offer is legitimate. I’m a VC over @ FJ labs (fjlabs.com/portfolio) - we’ve invested in Uber, AirbnB, and 250 other great companies. Our companies need more great engineers like you. Can we interest you in working with one of our companies?

You are correct. We are not talking H1B, and rarely use the H1B process to bring great talent to the US. The US has a whole alphabet soup of different types of visas - we find one that best suits the candidate, and then apply using that visa type. We have a phenomenal team of lawyers, and have therefore been quite successful in finding visas that work both for the candidate, and the company. Hope that helps clarify.

Tessa - thank you for the clarifications, it surely demystifies the offer (in a good way). I’m sensitive to the H1B topic, since I participated in all those lotteries and didn’t have luck (so far), despite having multiple applications from different employers each time.

I’m aware of J-1 being one of the available loopholes; it’s not subject to any cap, but the downside is its max duration (up to 18 months).

and Palantir and DeliveryHero, and Betterment… impressive portfolio, congratulations!

I’ll write more in a direct message, since it’s a complicated subject on my end :slight_smile:

is there any particular reason why neither FJ Labs nor Fabrice Grinda (as an angel) are listed as investors for Airbnb, Uber, Palantir?

FJ Labs has been founded in 2015, is that correct? So most of the investments listed on the website are actually private investments of its partners, that date back before the FJ Labs was born?

But it’s still concerning that you say you’ve invested in Uber, Airbnb and Palantir, but the data available online says otherwise.

Hey Mark, this is not concerning at all. The reason FJ nor Fabrice are listed as investors for these companies is because we are relatively minority investors in these companies in comparison to the amount of capital the companies have raised. Although we are proud of our fund and the amount of companies we back / capital we allocate, for a company like Uber, which has raised >$8b, we don’t fall into the top list of investors that the company usually publishes. Also, these companies are still private :), which means they aren’t required to disclose, nor have disclosed all of their investors, especially for minority investors.
