#32I mean, for 0.15-0.20% and a top end salary of $200k living in SF that sounds like a great opportunity!
Yeah, it's not much for SF.

#33Sounds insane. A delusional lunatic would expect that from an employee, and only a crazy or extremely desperate person would take that job.
What’s the equity and salary for completely dedicating your entire life to this company? Why not just hire two or three normal 40-hour employees?

#34Is this better? I can’t tell

#35The being expected to fly around the country weekly in conjunction with 'this is not a remote position' is pretty wild.
If a person is expected to spend 1.5 to 2.0 days out of a 7 day week in SF and the rest of the time travelling to some random location in the 48 states, you might as well make your legal residence a state with no state income tax (since obviously you don't spend >51% of your year in SF).

> completely dedicating your entire life to this company
Catholics like me would refer to that arrangement as “a religious vocation”. So it would come with room & board, wraparound health care, community living, celibacy, hard labor and/or lofty intellectual pursuits.
It’s interesting how the secular world continually tries to recapitulate these phenomena.

You could have taken 20 seconds to do some casual research like googling name of company + founders, but nope, you just jumped to some casual racism. Good job. For the record, they're not.

#38I wouldn’t touch this with a 10ft pole. But I know this wasn’t ever intended for me - they’re looking for young single people who’ll buy in to the cult aspect of it.
However, there’s a scenario worth considering. If you believe that early career people are most at risk of being replaced by AI, then doing a job like this for even a single year is a very compressed way to get several years of experience in a short time. Multiple different customer situations (different industries, tech stacks, cultures), and living in the cult HQ also means you absorb a lot of the experiences of your colleagues through osmosis.
After this when you’re looking to go work for a real company, you’re in a much stronger position in a tight employment market when you can point to 10 actual projects you’ve done with lots of variety.

Ahh, you almost had me up until the celibacy!

Kills me when people don't internally adjust a stated annual salary against a workweek that is almost assuredly brutally higher than a standard 9-5. Between the "grinder mindset," the on-site traveling, etc. you're probably easily pushing 60 hours a week.
A standard 200k full-time job clocks in at around $96 / hour. This job is more like $64 / hour.
