- krainboltgreene 2y agoI promise you never want that.
- saagarjha 2y agoI've worked with several of them and yes I do occasionally find that they would be the best suited for the work.
- criddell 2y agoMatt Cutts went from Google to the US Digital Service and did some amazing work. Maybe he’s an outlier, but I don’t think so. There are a lot of supremely talented people willing to take a massive pay cut to do good, meaningful work.
- krainboltgreene 2y agoThree things: 1. Exactly zero companies, much less startups, are like the US Government. 2. He had 2 years at the NSA prior to his Google run. 3. I'm pretty sure he's one of the highest profile google engineers, you're not getting that for $500k.
