Yes and? If this is not appealing to you, don't apply. But for some the travel and being at different customer sites is energizing and fun.
It shouldn’t even be legal.

#22The being expected to fly around the country weekly in conjunction with 'this is not a remote position' is pretty wild.

#24I mean, for 0.15-0.20% and a top end salary of $200k living in SF that sounds like a great opportunity!
Don’t get me wrong, $200k is a lot of money, but it’s not a top end tech salary in SF.
It’s quite poor given that you don’t get to have a life outside of work, too. I’d start to think that sounds great if it was a 4 day work week, but 7… Bizarre.

#25Saw this too.
Their name is Sales Patriot, hiring a "FDE", and they are funded by YC.
That should be enough information by itself.

#26Is this legal under California labor law?

Probably? I imagine most of these jobs are 'exempt' and so paying for overtime isn't required. Otherwise, obscene hours are legal as long as the employer is paying overtime (including paying hours for missed rest periods)
Anyway, most of the work is going to be done out of state...

#30I clicked through each of the founder's LinkedIn profiles for that posting because something seemed... off about it. One was listed as a Forbes 30 under 30, combined with the language/curation of their pages, made me think these are going to join the likes of Holmes/SBF/Charlie Javice.
