A comment on How to Hire Your First Engineer. Parent comment
My bank doesn't accept "sense of purpose" as payment. My real job is for my mortgage and retirement.
An extra $10k+ per year counts a lot when compounded. $10k a year for 30 years, 7% average long term stock market return gets you $1 million.
That could a better life style, retire many years earlier...all without the risk of a Scrappy startup hoping for a unicorn buyout.
Play with the numbers...but that's what you are giving up because you want to wear a graphic t-shirt to work.
