Fantastic and smart colleagues. Learn a lot in short amount of time.
Management is disconnected from the rest of the organization. Has gone downhill.

Hi all, I’m past the interview stage and currently in team matching stage at Blend. The recruiter mentioned that they have a Netflix like compensation model where one can choose %of cash/stock offer. However they don’t offer annual bonuses or signing bonuses. How much of that is true? Would it be po...Read more
Include possibility of an IPO or huge growth. So to have quantify this for example. At microsoft if you're a 63 and you're probably around 150 and bonus is at 15% and stock is likely 10 a year so for simplicity let's assume 3% increases in salary and bonus a year but not compound. So 15% and then ...Read more
Google used to be driven by engineers. It's now driven by short-sighted finance vultures and is now a conventional company. After all, the company has over 100k employees. The old college-like culture didn't scale as the median age raised, and as cultures from Amazon and Oracle blended in. Is there...Read more

When I signed on to Amazon, they awarded about $76k RSUs (~$2k for each * 38 RSUs) mostly vesting in years 3 and 4. I accidentally cashed my first stock, but kept all the rest. It’s now valued ~$72k. What a 4-year investment bust. Poor timing of joining Amazon… I had wanted to keep RSUs as an inve...Read more
Do these types of startups have less chance in general of going unicorn and having a meaningful exit for series B+ employees?

How do you balance this 9 x 10 two dimensional stock asset allocation manually? I know PersonalCapital o...Read more

All are primarily in index funds/retirement blends. My taxable is in an auto invested portfolio that’s supposed to be more aggressive b...Read more
Been at google for a few years, but I’m not really interested in the work I do now and I’m not enjoying the lengthy processes and approvals just so I can occasionally change a proto. There are a couple hot startups that I’m interested in moving to (like Plaid/Brex/Blend/Figma/etc). The thing is, Go...Read more

I started prepping for interviews 3 months ago. And am going through many loops in the next few weeks. So ...Read more
I’m not an active trader. I want to ask questions before I make any changes. I’m curious how actively everyone is trading in their employer-sponsored accounts, and what types of trades you’ve utilized to get you the best performance. I’ll detail my current situation below. ERISA-compliant 401(k) t...Read more
