> - We are a start up working hard to launch so it wouldn't work for us. I read this as: "we've advertised this as full time, but really it's 24/7"

I think that's a reach. I fail to understand how you'd arrive at such a conclusion.

From my anecdotal experience, most startups would actually prefer paying more if that meant they could get 6 days of work. But regardless, I think your conclusion for that particular point is a reach, unless there is more context/information around this.

> I personally believe that working 4 days per week doesn't equate to 80% output, more like 90%, and therefore I feel the salary should reflect this.

I believe it is super difficult to generalize this. For some, it could be that 4 days per week = 70% of 5 days per week, and for some it could be that 4 days per week = 90% of 5 days per week as you mentioned. Now, if people fall into the category of 4 days > 80% output, then good for them no? They can finish 5 days worth of work in 4.25 days and chill out the rest of the time and take it easy? Especially in these times when most tech employees are WFH, they can simply just spend time with their family, catch up on a show, do some house errands, read books etc etc.
