i have no expenses because I have dad's credit card. lol. Odd no one commented on the one part I disliked.
well my younger worker is taking a wake but it's like 17 an hour and he has no relevant technical skills
- brianwawok 11y agoSo working for no pay you need to STRONGLY believe in the company. Do you think in 1-2 years its going to be making millions of dollars? If so, get more equity. If not, quit. I think you are worrying too much about equity, when the problem is your position. Equity means nothing if you don't get paid out. The odds of you EVER getting pay to match all the hours work decreases with every day you show up for work.
- eruditely 11y agoI also have the option of finishing up my degree. Should I just go back to school full time and try to transfer and work at work part time with the same equity arrangement or should I just continue with the advice that every one else has advised.
- brianwawok 11y agoI think school is important, but I also think money is important. To me the ideal situation is to work 20-40 hours for pay (not equity) while going to school part-full time. So could be full time work and part time school, or full time school and part time work. (Full time work and full time school can be rough). But again, you are young and need actual money. Equity is not going to get you rich. Your company is not the next facebook. Do a startup some day sure, but why do it right now?
