[whynotmaybe]

If everything goes well, I should be hiring my first employee in a few months.

FAANG in the resume will clearly be seen as a risk because we won't be working on high visibility project, we won't have free perks laying around the office and we won't be able to pay what they're used to have... So we're kinda sure that the person might leave at any better opportunity that comes around.

I won't be able to hire someone "perfect" so I'll hire someone "good enough".

To say it differently, I need a car, I know I should buy a brand new electric car but my budget only allows me to buy a used gas car.
