The people replying to this ad are now multi-millionaires/billionaires. If you want to work a reasonable amount of work you can do it at a normal company, and get a reasonable amount of money in return.

- rjh29 3y agoWe all know what survivor bias is. The risk/reward proposition is still attractive to some.

- rjh29 3y agoYeah but we're not talking about those ads, I'm using this ad as an example of why some people might be interested in such a job posting. They knew the risks.
- muskmusk 3y agoIf you play in the shark pool you might get bitten. It might also be incredibly profitable if you know how to navigate it. If you can't tell whether the company you work for is going somewhere or just using you for cheap labor then that says as much about you as it does about the company. Employment is a two way street. If you don't want risk, then don't choose risk. But there is nothing inherently wrong with risk.
