I'm sorry for all those affected by the Bench Accounting shutdown. If any of you are solopreneurs, feel free to reach out to my friend Nate at Cookie Finance. They are a highly trusted accounting platform (US based) that provides full-service accounting/tax. Nate also shared with me that they’ve already worked with a lot of former Bench clients.
Sure, but why would you advertise to those people? There are many very talented people in parts of the world that aren't the premier market for their skills that accept much lower salaries for their skills, or are employed in other industries altogether. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people that match that criteria and have security research experience is much higher than the number of people in Silicon Valley and the other 5-10 leading tech markets that have the requisite security experience.
The world is a big place, and I think exploring security is fairly attractive to the weekend warrior programmer that might find other work hard to come by.
Not subsidizing, I was talking about the income tax on the researcher. Something which affects the whole population. It’s like someone finding a bug in a paracetamol and government rewarding him by not taxing the money he received from pharma companies. Not a great analogy but you get my point.
We believe great education is the first step to solving many of the world’s most pressing problems. Our purpose is to build products that make it easier for teachers to provide that education.
