Came into this post thinking about how monumentally dumb this idea was. Your arguments made it less dumb. There’s a chance, albeit small, that this works. Your mind is beautiful, thanks for sharing.
"Want to take a sabbatical or try a new job out? Rent out your existing one while you go see if you have what it takes to be a musician.” Love this! Can we go even bigger? Job swaps set up like Vacation Home Exchange - I’ll try being a vintner in Western Australia while my counterpart tries her hand at my financial arbitrage job in NYC….

The continuity argument is interesting, and one upside to an idea I thought would be straight terrible. For everything else, I think regular equity works far better.

Which is why I believe its a long way off.
Can I pay someone to take my job from me please?
It's brilliant how you come up with these ideas, your creative thinking is truly impressive!
