Great in theory, unworkable in practice.<p>The downside to this will be the negotiated rate, and that is the upside for Stripe.... along with the lower risk hiring outcome they also receive.<p>When time is not on your side your negotiating ability is severely hampered.<p>There will always be an imperative for someone in a team to &quot;hurry the paperwork&quot; along faster than someone else because they need the financial security of a job etc etc. So unless the &quot;team&quot; is happy to delegate the entire negotiating process to one person with complete authority this situation will be unavoidable. And let&#x27;s face it, not many people will blindly put their faith in someone else to negotiate every aspect of their next full time permanent position, including whether or not to accept it and give notice at their current employer.<p>Money isn&#x27;t everything of course, but this is a sure-fire approach to limiting your income, thus don&#x27;t think there will be many takers.<p>As someone else said in the comments here, the more practical alternative that actually does work is called consulting.
