Many of us have had conversations on social media that we remember for a long time. But for Walnut CEO Roshan Patel, the brutally honest reply he received from a software engineer during an interview has stayed with him for almost two years. Mr Patel had received a pre-seed funding for his start-up in 2021 and was looking to hire people for his company. He shortlisted one software engineer and decided to check it she would be interested in working for Walnut.<\/p>\n

“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?” he asked her, according to the screenshot posted by Mr Patel on Twitter on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But the interview was cut short because of the engineer’s straightforward response.<\/p>\n

“Hi Roshan, I just checked on Crunchbase and my current salary is more than your entire pre-seed round,” she replied.<\/p>\n

“Still thinking about this exchange almost 2 years later,” he wrote in his tweet posted on April 26.<\/p>\n

The tweet has received more than three million views and over 24,000 likes. Twitter users were amused by the software engineer’s response.<\/p>\n

“Amazing that people put money before purposeful work. Also, Dear software engineers (making way too much money) – meet AI,” commented one user.<\/p>\n

“Could have gone with “Hey, I’ll have to pass on this opportunity as of now Roshan, but would love to be in touch.” But she went T’her’e,” said another.<\/p>\n

Some users, however, came out in the engineer’s defence.<\/p>\n

“Gotta say, it’s a weird decision to shame someone who’s confident and established because she didn’t respond to your generic message,” said a user.<\/p>\n

Walnut is based in New York and according to Crunchbase, it had raised $3.6 million in April 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
