> 6 days a week in the office Is that accurate?

If you just want a job that pays the bills, I respect your decision, but you should not apply. The hardest and most important problems won't be solved working 9-5, 5 days a week. Nobody feels like they "have to" come in on Saturdays - we find purpose in our work, and see it as the main way we can have a meaningful impact. We enjoy working, learning and spending time together. We would much rather spend 70 hours a wee…

"No one feels like they 'have to' come in on Saturdays" yet that's literally in the job description.

"Plus we do take Sundays off."

Wow. That's very generous.

Respectfully, I disagree with just about every assertion you make here.

> Nobody feels like they "have to" come in on Saturdays

If you list it upfront in your job postings like you're doing here, people will feel like they have to work on Saturdays. Though it looks like maybe your company is just you and a co-founder at this point. If that's correct, it's a little misleading to say that "nobody" feels this way, when the only two employees of the company are the two cofounders that have the most skin in the game.

By setting this policy, you are filtering out a wide-ranging group of senior engineers with families, side projects, and other commitments (such as myself) who will read this and move on immediately (or comment "lol" like another reply below).

I'm not necessarily just "looking for a job that pays the bills," either; I advised, and then directly worked full-time for, a startup that grew from 2 cofounders in the late aughts to IPOing on the NASDAQ about 5 years ago.

Obviously, it's your company, and if it works for you, then great. However if I were an investor in your company I'd have serious qualms with it.

I meant that nobody feels like they "have to" come in in the sense that everybody wants to come in on Saturdays.

I don't feel like I "have to" work 6 days a week - I do it because I want to. You may say that this is just because I'm a cofounder, but that's not true - I did the same thing at past startups where I was an early hire, but not a cofounder. Because I enjoyed the work, found it meaningful and loved learning. This is the kind of person we're looking for.
