Considering many of these 13 contributors are part-time, the average would actually be closer to $200k or more for a full-time role - this doesnāt seem on-par with the rest of the DAO or the space in general.
All contributors noted there are full time with the exception of Madison, so you could maybe use 12.5 instead of 13 I suppose which would be closer to ~170k on average. On GTC, while DAO Ops is compensated entirely in GTC IIRC, GPC and others are distributed stables.
On (3), the discussion at CSDO assumed that most (if not all) of the cost of this event would be covered by sponsors. I think the decision might have been different if we were asking for $100k+ from the treasury for this.
Happy to revisit this in a future CSDO call but I do think in general the DAO was aware that costs would be in this range, IIRC a ballpark was noted and @J9leger asked if folks were comfortable with the risk of funding not being fully covered by the sponsorships in the failure case (with the goal being to fully cover). The notes from that call can provide more context.
From what I understand, the salaries noted (including in the posting youāve shared) include token rewards - thereās no reason a company would advertise a significantly lower salary in a job posting than the total compensation they are actually offering.
UMA notes that āpackages include competitive salaries & substantial token optionsā and that āsalaries range from $100-200Kā¦ while token allocations can grow with your voting rewards.ā I think their goal is to set expectations going in on base comp while additional comp is potentially more flexible. Of course, we donāt currently offer any similar kinds of options.
In any case, I do know devrel leads that have total comp up to $400k. If youād like Iām happy to connect you although I do want to avoid doxxing them publicly. For completeness I definitely hope comp ends closer to ~$200k total (in which case the remainder will be held over for future devrel budgets) and Iām certainly not negotiating against us, but I also believe we should be prepared to hire the best person for the job when it comes to such a critical role.
