To be more specific, I am talking about journalists who work at private publishers owned by people or a company with a financial conflict of interest in a topic.

I doubt ElasticSearch is easier to set up and get started with than MongoDB, especially if you're coming from limited knowledge about either.

by lemevi 11y ago

Probably 1-5% if he's the first employee. Less than a percent if he's not unless he got awarded more later or they have an unusual equity situation. 30% is founder territory.
