I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.
OK yeah. He is a recent grad from Dartmouth and his company markets exclusively to college students and boasts $500,000 in sales.
This might sound like a lot but it’s not enough to have many employees. He’s essentially a self-employed ~~kid~~ young man acting as the sole managing member of a disregarded entity and his “Pakistani employee” is likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee.
So, big grain of salt here. It’s a ~~kid~~ young man cosplaying as a big-shot CEO on social media. Maybe don’t luigi this one until he’s had the chance to actually be a colossal piece of shit.
Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
I'm not familiar, but those both sound like visas for foreign workers? From the original post, I don't think the developer is living in a western country. I think it's outsourced to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.
Those are just tax code for employee/self employed contractor
