This is not a free place to stay. You are asking a software engineer (the hottest date in Silicon Valley right now) to work just for the cost of rent. Even if you live in One Rincon that means you're effectively paying $24,000 post-tax.

- alain94040 16y agoWell of course you get equity in our startup. As you know, that's a pretty standard deal for startups in Silicon Valley. Plus rent covered. If it's not for you, fine, but someone else may find that a deal worth considering.
- groby_b 16y agoThat might be worth mentioning - when reading the post, I had the same reaction as the GP. "You want me to code for just rent???" Equity makes this a much sweeter deal.
- qq66 16y agoDepends how much, of course.
- rsbrown 16y agoIt's not at all clear from this post that the coder will get any equity for their 3-month stint. Having said all that, this is a pretty cool deal for a young person right out of school with no job prospects. EDIT: Removed my skepticism about receiving equity. I didn't realize you were one of the founders. A little equity for 3 months' work? Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
