Hire A, with lots of options and long-term vesting. Successful companies are full of smart weirdos.

- jacquesm 17y agoIf A is motivated by money then that might work, but not everybody is motivated that way. But the principle may hold true regardless of the method of rewarding.
- byrneseyeview 17y agoYeah, unfortunately it's very hard to provide praise, or technical challenges, with vesting: "Great job! Is what I'll tell you about the project you just finished. But only if you're still here in two years!" The nice thing about money is that it's so easy to fiddle around with it to get the incentives right. But I agree -- this doesn't work if the person you're dealing with isn't strongly motivated by money.
