People need to know how much their own time is worth and pick the right jobs that fit that requirement. If this is a side-gig, then the turnips option is fine. Otherwise, go for the RLC option or look elsewhere.

I sympathize the the general anti-turnip sentiment because many CS startups lowball/overwork new graduates and same with a lot of post-grad student jobs. I just don't think that DV has the same ill intentions.
