> Forward Deployed Engineers in the wild. We said "go relax." They brought their laptops onto a duck float. Because when you're helping customers manage supplier communications semi-autonomously and speed up America's defense industrial base, "break" is a relative term. This is the energy.

200k in SF with CA income taxes and SF cost of living is not that much at all. It's low enough that "No, you can't ever hope to afford to buy a home or get a mortgage in the city of your legal residence" is a flat out fact.
I don't know if I'd really define "some" travel as flying SF to NYC (or SF to Miami, or Wisconsin) every sunday afternoon/evening, and then flying NYC to SF every Friday evening. That meets a definition more like "constant" to me rather than "some".
Yes, they explicitly brag about this in their LinkedIn feed:

I got a recruiting email recently for a job that had 5 days onsite, but SATURDAY was work from home, listed like it was a perk.
It’s wild out there.

Seems more like a cult than a job. Hopefully the equity is like… a lot.
I mean, for 0.15-0.20% and a top end salary of $200k living in SF that sounds like a great opportunity!

Don’t get me wrong, $200k is a lot of money, but it’s not a top end tech salary in SF.
Are you serious? That's not much to be able to live there. And for the top end no less?
Yes and? If this is not appealing to you, don't apply. But for some the travel and being at different customer sites is energizing and fun.
