What a great problem to have.

I missed my chance like an idiot, but I originally was going to take a long vacation with a modest 50k saved up. I figured that's at least 6 months in less expensive countries with 20k remaining when I come back.

Then I basically had the worst year ever.

How I wish I took that vacation.

But here's a startup comp idea. Pay a 25% sign on bonus, with the expectation that your not allowed to do any paid work for 6 months.

Travel , spend time with family, work on that play.

Then when you get back to Soul Crush Inc you can present new ideas.

But I'd also pay below market overall.
