I’m currently working as a generalist software engineer at a YC startup. I transitioned from part-time to full-time, but I’ve been offered only a 5-day notice period, which has me feeling uneasy. I’m not a full-time employee; I’m a contractor, but my work responsibilities are on par with those of full-time staff. Recently, I’ve seen a few colleagues get laid off, and it’s made me anxious about my own job security. I’m curious to know how common a 5-day notice period is among other startups, especially from founders.
