@julianweisser Tech companies of all sizes need eng, product, sales and marketing.
IMO best move for recent grads is to go deep in one of these at a company of any size.

As you can see by the responses, influencers have figured out that overseas talent arb is the most lucrative way to monetize their audience
It’s pretty wild how high the markups are. A $3-$4k/month VA is only getting paid ~$1k/month.
If you want to hire overseas talent, your best bet is to use Upwork and pay the reasonable 10% fee.
If you really want to hire direct, you can hire an in-market recruiter on Upwork.
It’s hard to understand this unless you’ve been an early startup employee.
Founders take more risk and stress, but it’s not nearly proportional to the equity disparity.
Lawyers and VCs make the problem worse with benchmarks.
Big fan of more equity, longer vesting, and a 10 yr exercise window!
