Founders

/founders let’s do some role playing. 

I’m a staff level eng making +300k base per year at FAANG or a HFT firm. 

Why should I join your team?

Crypto Recruiter; 100+ placements. Now, grant-backed Founder, blending social graphs to create 
@interestedfyi's onchain /jobs report. Ex @ConsenSysMesh.

equity will turn a great job into life changing generational money.  With that life changing money you can have more of an impact on companies you want to see funded

Agree but liquidity events aren’t guaranteed. AND sure maybe you get ~$500k-1m in tokens over a 3/4 years but with a docked salary and less resources. At that rate the salary at a 300k/year is safe, stable, should have excess time and money, and has more balance than a start up. Idk think I’ll stay

“But you asked for +5 -7years of experience for this role and was 22 when I graduated”

Totally agree that this is an industry that makes little sense for anyone with major life responsibilities outside of work. Unless they got a bag already.

Also depends on age.  If you're under 30, single or no kids you can take the risk.
