Hi,
Soon I'll be interviewing at a company that's relatively new, has a small team. After talking to their CEO on the phone, I think I have a really good shot. This will be my first development job.
I'm a little concerned about the pay structure.
They're offering a very small base salary, plus profit sharing. What's strange is this point system that was described to me that makes the pay dependent on programmer "skill". I didn't ask how this was measured, because I couldn't really understand how this system works over the phone.
The base salary works out to about half of what I make now, so if this company's not profitable, I'll have to find additional work.
Is anyone familiar with sort of thing? What kind of questions should I ask to make sure I'm not getting screwed?
