This apparently has been a point of commentary, and the (YC-backed) firm is apparently open about it in their job listings (to their credit): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43181601 I feel like we could have done without the snark, but that the question of our collective norms with respect to labor conditions is legitimate to discuss… For my part, I’ve willingly worked 7-day weeks for significant periods of time when it felt important to me to do so. I was fairly compensated (albeit way less than the $120K Voker is offering for the full-stack engineer role in question), the work felt meaningful to me, the conditions of the job were clear upfront, I didn’t have competing demands on my time, and it couldn’t have gotten done any other way. At the same time I know salaried colleagues who get dragged in 5 days a week for no reason, even when there’s nothing to do. I imagine there’s a balance to be struck in here somewhere… |
