What are waymo options? Are they same as the "options" like the market option trading? If I am given waymo options with an underlying strike price, I need to pay that strike price (out of my pocket) to buy the underlying stock right (assuming waymo IPOs).

I have 100k in my savings account that yields me 300 per month. What are the other best investment options I have in the U.S. being on H-1B work VISA?
I’m 23 and made my first million a couple months ago trading options. AMA
My H1B didn’t get picked and I have to leave the country in 8 months but I need a car temporarily to use and purchasing is not a wise option. Is a 2nd hand car better than leasing ? What would be a ideal option for me ? I am a hertz gold member too TC:126k

Stuck out of the country due to an emergency. Now need to find a new job. Guess it’d be easier if I get a contracting role on h1b first, and then look for full times once in the US. Are there consulting companies that help with this? Please advise or DM if you have info. Have my i140 approved but ...Read more
Feels like I joined a toxic team where everyone is constantly trying to one up another or claim credit for the smallest bit of work. I talked to my new joinee mentor and they said it's pretty recent change and they are aware of it. Should I bring this up to EM during our syncs ? Would like a team w...Read more
