DS-160 Current employment query

After completing my btech in June 2015, I joined an early age startup in December. I am working there to gain experience and with nothing being paid. What should I mention in the current employment section of DS160 form? Should I write salary as 0? Or should I not mention about my job? Note: this startup is not my h1b sponsorKindly guide me please.

You should mention this company and enter correct salary of 0. Consulate is not very concerned what you are earning outside US and so it should not matter.

Thank you so much for your response! I had a talk regarding this with the CEO, he says that they are willing to give salary of Rs. ‘X’ for the month of March and April and By that time I’ll have my interview in May. So should I write the salary as X than?

Should I get the job experience certificate from them?
Thanks Again!

If you are receiving actual salary when completing DS form or appearing for interview, then use those numbers.

I don’t know your entire profile, but looks like you graduated recently. So it would be good to get experience letter from them to show that you are indeed qualified for the offered position.
