Going through interview processes and one company which is a startup, said they really liked me, but were worried I wasn't 100% enthusiastic about joining their particular startup and working on their project (some dumb data processing company). They have asked me to send them an email detailing why I would be excited to join them.
:sicko-wistful:
Edit: LMFAO my email worked, they want to do a final interview hahahahhaa
"how much mileage can we get exploiting your desire to work here instead of ever getting a raise?"
EDIT: although I guess with a startup the compensation story is "you'll get part of the buyout money via options"
