    Nearly every entrepreneur I talk so says hiring is their biggest challenge. The world is starving for competent people with a strong work-ethic.

        Entrepreneurs are prone to overvalue the opportunity to work for them. Also, what % of them are willing to hire employees and not contractors?

        This. All startups think they’re the next google. They also have terrible understanding of basic supply and demand - pay above market rate to find the best, otherwise don’t seek out the best!

        have they tried actually paying them? The founders I meet who struggle to hire are the ones who want a marketing director to work for $65k + cliff bars and coffee, and then don’t hire for a year

        Is work ethic what it meant before or the one I hear so often now about doing lots of extra unpaid hours on a permanent basis for another person?

        Work ethic is code for “you will burn yourself out overworking to follow our every whim while not complaining. And we keep 99% of the money if it works out.”
