Blind Stock
- Meta earnings - Why are folks on blind who make so much in RSUs so bad at valuation of stocks? This company has one of the best balance sheet in the world. Had been trading at 15x free cash flow. The boomers at Blackrock or any of these big firms would get a hard on to own a business like Meta at 15x free cash flow even if revenue stayed flat. Most mature businesses trade at 10-15x cash flow.
- Amazon Stock Split blind posts People are not really sure about the stock splits .. a dude thinks he is getting 8 million. if you buy the stock when the split news came out, you will get the split.

- Why do so many people on blind pick individual stocks?

Yet so many blind investors seem to be chasing random tech companies by stories instead of valuation? Why? Is this ju

- TC quoted on blind factors in stock appreciation? I've been in talks with recruiter and negotiating attempts seem to be reaching a wall. All I am asking for is the offers quoted here on blind. Recruiter says its over the limit of L6 band and needs special approval. he says to benefit you, keep more stocks than base or bonus as potential upside i

- vote Do you count ESPP in your TC on blind? I know there’s always a debate here on whether or not you should base your TC off of current stock price vs offer.

- Why is the whole stock component in compensation considered as part of TC in Blind posts when it vests over 4 years ? Stocks typically vest over 4 years in most tech companies. Wouldn't it be better to include only 1/4th of stock as part of TC when communicating here on blind and in general ? For example, a typical blind post says - Base : 100K RSU 400 K TC 500 K Wouldn't base 100k rsu 100k TC 200 k be more accurat

- Amazon is basically the highest TC company for the last year Honestly I think the supremacy of Amazon is a hard pill for blind to swallow.

- Robinhood's just announced PIP is a company principle Folks are fuming because we're now officially a PIP company. Given the low stock performance, instead of laying off and giving severance, they're going to put people into PIP and fire. It was officially announced today. The reasoning? Because "good enough is just not good enough".. Stay away from t
