What people actually do at WeWork

That's exactly the vibe I got from the "cofounder" who is Head of PR. At 2% equity and $1,500 a month, that has to be the rawest deal I have heard of for someone who is essentially responsible for all of the company's traction.

Yeah, not sure how you live on $18k/year salary in NYC unless you're being supported by your family, which is what I'm guessing is happening here for both of them. Not many people have a network of exclusively friends and family to fund their seed round to the tune of a few $100k...

Well, "PR" is FAR from an actual growth lead. PR is a tactic within the overall marketing stable. No straight-up PR person is going to actually create, manage, and optimize growth beyond just PR.

Yeah, that stood out as some serious asymmetry.
