Couldn't the book cost 7.5k and one has 6.5 and the other has 0.5? Along those lines, isn't anything in the range of costing 7->8 (non-inclusive) acceptable (e.g. 0.9k and 6.9k)?

They seem to be expanding successfully into video and email. I'd expect the next big lift to be the sequencing of those different mediums.

I guess it would depend how you structure the purchases. If you allow for the purchasing of a common share at the 409 valuation, you wouldn't have a tax hit until you sell it. You would be taxed on the salary used to purchase the share

Interesting thought. We're a private company, so the stock is still illiquid. That wouldn't prevent purchasing stock, but the question is where it would come from. Option pools are used for new employee grants so that could work,

Depends on the role/level, but ~10-15k annually between each tier. I have gone beyond the endpoints (within reason) by just linearly extrapolating, though that tends to be pretty uncommon.

Can only speak to my experience, but I am completely indifferent to their choice. Either of the 3 tend to be relatively substantial in equity, so everyone is invested in some regard. I also believe that in the long run, unvested options are

In general, it seems to be appreciated. We initially set it up this way to help take some of the stress out of negotiation (as that favors certain people over others). A few learnings off the top of my mind: 1. Regardless of the structure,

Agree with you on this. We do that at my company Divvy. Each prospective hire is given 3 different options (varying levels of cash / equity). The "implied" value of all three at the current valuation is the same, but as you m

Off topic, but just checked out Beekeeper - Seems like a solid SQL IDE! Had been using Postico before, but going to give yours a try.

Without knowing your exact situation, one thing to keep in mind is that the preferred value (last valuation / # of shares) of a share is generally a good bit higher than the tax liability (value of a common share from the 409a minus yo

Agree. I wrote the engine in Node (so punted on the threading problem a bit) then just ported pieces of the engine to firebase functions to handle the actual computation. Made testing a bit easier as I could just simulate players client sid

Thank you. Still feels like and endless set of features to add: tournaments, hot keys, animations, etc. It took about 2 weeks of nights/weekends to have something functional I could play with friends. The engine was the hardest part. T

Hey all. Built this over the past couple of weeks as an alternative to more Zoom calls. It’s built with React and using Firebase for storage and compute and Twilio for video. Hope y’all enjoy.

I feel bad for the employees...not so much for the airline. Norwegian was the worst nickel&diming airline I've ever been on.

One thing I did which helped results a bit is invert negative queries...So if the query had a NOT in it, remove that, and choose the option with the fewest matches. Seemed to work pretty well.

Yeah that'd be a simple change for them. I'm happy to know I wasn't alone in this. I knew for sure someone else must be doing the same thing :) How are you taking the screenshots? I made a little hotkey script, but feel I cou
