Learned the first and second lesson here the hard way; two times, we were burned by folks representing a "full stack" skillset with a preference for frontend, but what we got were React devs who've done small amounts of work in the backend.
That said, if they had been smart/willing enough to pick it up quickly we'd have probably been fine, but both ended up falling into oddly similar mental health spirals and washed out after 3-4 months each.
We never ended up filling the role, and are using the funds to hunker down through this VC downturn or until we can find P/M fit. Honestly seems fine, the volume of work isn't really justified in a 3rd engineering hire right now, we need to improve sales.
