I’ve got to say, I find this attitude really annoying. This is a life-changingly good salary for 90+% of the world, and I'm sure it will attract some great people.

It feels a bit shitty when a rich American disparages a salary that is significantly higher than a lot of his international audience.

Silly.

This is a very good salary in Europe for a role in journalism where you just get to browse Twitter and Substack all day to find fun links to share.

And you can work anywhere. I think grossly over-estimate how many jobs like this are available.

My 'SC Weekly' Sunday newsletters are in this vein. I'm not available for a daily commitment like this but we're operating in a similar lane. I'd be happy to discuss possible collab ideas.

Is this position still available? You should update your post. I know you've mentioned the deadline, but this role is delicious enough that it's still making the rounds in job roundup newsletters.

This is an excellent opportunity and I'm only sad that I saw it just before the deadline. I will send in an application and hope for the best, thanks for sharing this.
