Working for a startup with about 9 people employed We just had a Series A (I don’t even know how). Our ceo has business background and got an MBA from Ivy League. She can certainly sell things, and has done that. However she drastically underestimates how long things take. She oversells, if not straight out lies to the clients, and has promised some outrageous things.
We are a team of 5 junior developers straight out of collage (yes no seniors!!!). We are supposed to build a whole webapp for a heavily regulated industry in around 4 months. Not an MVP, but a whole functioning webapp, where we would get sued for millions if some data leakes (if the webapp got hacked for example). She also does not understand why we can’t work on a compleatly different AI project paralell to the webapp (which we can’t because of the tight deadline). Our clients believe that we have worked for a year on the webapp, when we are just starting (that’s what she told them).
My questions:
what the fuck?
Sounds like she’s going to learn a few things the hard way…
For you, just do your best and learn as much as you can. As a new grad that should be your #1 priority.
