Can I interest you in someone who's willing to work part time for full price, but still put a full ass into it? I more than meet your quite meager qualifications, and the paycheck would more than adequately fund weekly commuter flights into DC. In exchange, I'd happily turn multiple of my story-length comments into full articles. And to boot, I wouldn't even CUSS in them! (much)
I hope you give this offer the due consideration it deserves.
I am happy at my current job (and I live in another country) so this isn't a 'job question' but I am interested in what your office is. I understand CB shares some working space in D.C. - but how often is the team in the office? Do you socialize/know the other people in that building?
I think it’s generally split into two groups: Harvard-Princeton-Yale and everyone else (the “lesser Ivies” [1]). The ordering within the groups is not agreed upon.
Knew I shoulda gone on that DC field trip in 8th grade. Assistant Blag Editor woulda been a perfect fit for my former white-collar skillset. It can't be that different from administrating a popular videogame wiki, right? (Never quite had the chutzpah to call that an "unpaid internship" on resume, but.)
$60k for entry-level professional work in the DC area is… competitive with the various public-sector internships and junior Congressional aids, I guess?
Your name must begin with “M”: Matt, Mark, Maya, Milan. “Ma” is better but Milan benefited from affirmative action
is being alive a requirement?
Kate, Kate... may I call you Kate?

ONE of your names begins with M, I think that makes you eligible according to TSW's criterion.
Dear God.
Run, folks. Run.
No fucking way Dave.
In all seriousness, I think that many Slow Borers would fit most of these qualifications very well.

I'm just glad to see an entry-level job posting that doesn't also require a degree and a couple years of experience!
If I only attend one of the “lesser Ivies” (let’s say Princeton or Dartmouth) is that good enough, or is a Harvard or Yale enrollment required?
Marc went to Dartmouth!
What is the actual pecking order there?
My mental order has always been Harvard-Princeton-Penn-Yale-Columbia-Cornell-Dartmouth-Brown.

Pretty decent compensation. My guess is folks will be getting insurance on the exchange because of your guys' small scale.

Not much more to be said for it.
I think Congressional aids are paid worse.
