I only got into grantmaking less than a year ago (in November 2022), and shortly after I unburied myself from FTXFF-collapse-related grants around January, I started hiring in a private round which led to Max joining (a private round is generally much less of a logistical lift than a big public round). I’m now joining this big public round along with other OP GCR teams because combining hiring rounds makes it easier on the back-end. See Luke’s AMA answers here and here for more detail on the “Why are you hiring now rather than previously?” question, and my comment here for more color on my personal working situation over the last ten months or so.
