Paul shares an office with this guy. I assume they're similar ages, and seem to be similarly experienced (both early Googlers, now retired). Is advisor really the right word, here?

meebo?

Does it load faster than RadiusIM?

Ebuddy?

The Google Talk Widget?

KoolIM?

Aren't these things a dime a dozen?

Is $25k starting bonus a usual thing? I now use this over meebo, so fast and clean

$25k starting bonus is unusual, so far as I know, particularly for an early stage startup that, in theory, has no money and would mostly be paying someone like employee #2 mostly in equity.

It's a good way to help someone along who might have significant unvested options at a larger company. It might not match the "on the table" money, but might sweeten the deal a bit.

that bonus is your pay. the salary is just sweat equity. i've been tricked by this before.

It does sound like an old dot.com 1.0 scam: $25K starting bonus!!! And your salary is... stock options!

If it is $25K bonus plus $100K salary plus 2-4% of the company, it is worth considering.

The person they are looking for is hard to find and would be worth $95-$140K STARTING at another startup.

There is no way that the founder of imo.im is dumb enough to not pay a salary. This job has to have a six figure salary.
