Just curious what people think the odds are at the moment...

Clarification: I'll try to use a common-sense definition of "job/internship." I think if I found myself with an "I work at Manifold!" badge, or going to the office to do some sort of work on a regular basis, that would count. A single freelance gig (like USD funding for a Market Manipulation Podcast episode) probably wouldn't, but a series of freelance payments might - it would depend on the exact situation. If anyone in the comments has an idea for better formal criteria, I'm open to that! (Perhaps I'll also make another, less ambiguous market.)

General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

@Conflux 👀

predicts YES

@lag some discussion on

should ask them in person lol

predicts NO

@lag haha I’m not exactly angling for one right now! maybe if I get rejected from every college

I hope so! What sort of work would you want to do? Would being a college ambassador count? Something like paid to host manifold-themed events at your college (if you go)

@ian Hmm, I’m not sure. I suppose if I’m on the payroll for Manifold? I haven’t thought through whether this counts.

As I said in the description, I’m not really pitching anything yet, it just occurred to me that this wasn’t the most implausible scenario :)

predicts NO

@ian oh, this is smart, but would that be "volunteer" work?

predicts YES

@astyerche not if paid

predicts NO

@ian Maybe my criterion should just be if I get one of those “I work at Manifold!” badges

predicts YES

@Conflux that actually seems like r solid criteria, i support that

bought Ṁ20 of NO

i believe it is possible, but from what @ Sinclair has said, i doubt it.

@astyerche what did they say?
