Steph's Notes:

This company and job has the dubious honor of spawning not one, but TWO new BJB entries. I bet you can guess which ones.

Join our growing, fast-paced, disruptive startup that is going to win in building the only FinOps solution that a company will ever need.

HEAVY SIGH.

We encourage people from all genders, religions, pregnancy statuses, nationalities, and backgrounds to join us. We're proud to be working with parents, singles, and even dogs!

YIKES. They sure are going out of their way to avoid welcoming all races to the company, aren't they?

Also, uh, you know it's bad when "Professionalism" is one of four company values. I'm not sure I've ever seen so much racism so clearly written between the lines of a Careers page before.

At Finout, we understand that our employees are the most valuable thing we have, and it's not just a motto. We are a young startup, with a really pleasant and friendly working environment, generous perks, and very nice people (well, most of them).

Good grief, who wrote this careers page? ("AI," the group chat says. "Definitely AI.")

Our company is rapidly growing, all while maintaining a young and fun vibe!

Really committing to that ageism!

Ability to work independently while still communicating with the wider group regarding wider issues.

The bar is in hell.

Besides an amazing opportunity to learn and grow professionally alongside a team of real rockstars,

goes to their building, gets on their elevator, goes to the roof, takes out megaphone: THIS IS NOT A BENEFIT

Office Hybrid model - 2 times a week working from home

THIS IS NOT A BENEFIT, IT IS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT

Also, this should actually be a Director role given the responsibilities. The salary is just *okay* for a senior technical hybrid role in NYC, but it's shitty for a Director-level technical role.

Worked here?

I rated the posting. You might know the place. Anything you can add about what the job is actually like is worth more than my read of the job description β€” that's the whole reason this box is here.

Read this bit first

Comments on a job listing are public, and the company can read them. If you work there now, or you're mid-process with them, post under a name they wouldn't recognise. It takes ten seconds and nobody here will think less of you for it.

One ask on how you write it: stick to what happened to you. My manager told me the on-call rota was optional lands harder than this company lies to candidates β€” and it's a lot harder to argue with.

Before you post

Disagree with me all you like β€” that's half the point. Don't come after other readers, don't post anyone's private details, don't pitch anything, and don't post anything you didn't write yourself. I delete what breaks that and I don't argue about it. Full version β†’
