I wouldn’t touch this with a 10ft pole. But I know this wasn’t ever intended for me - they’re looking for young single people who’ll buy in to the cult aspect of it.
However, there’s a scenario worth considering. If you believe that early career people are most at risk of being replaced by AI, then doing a job like this for even a single year is a very compressed way to get several years of experience in a short time. Multiple different customer situations (different industries, tech stacks, cultures), and living in the cult HQ also means you absorb a lot of the experiences of your colleagues through osmosis.
After this when you’re looking to go work for a real company, you’re in a much stronger position in a tight employment market when you can point to 10 actual projects you’ve done with lots of variety.
- roryirvine 2mo agoNo future employer is actually going to credit you with any additional years of experience, it'll just be "oh, they did a year at a failed startup". And if you claim to have done 10 projects in your first year of paid employment, people will just assume that they were all very shallow or that you only had minor involvement. Pretty much any other job would be better.
