I feel like Amazon’s internal culture did not survive Bezos leaving + Covid. All that’s left are a bunch of people desperately trying to survive and climb their way up (stepping over whoever is necessary to do so). It’s not about the custom

Everyone learns differently. Lectures were all over the place for me - some useful, some awful. Professors really vary a lot in skill here. Same with tests - some helped me learn, some were rote memorization. Labs were incredibly, incredibl

The law says 22% so they hold 22%. It may be better for you. For example, you may want to cover the rest of the tax bill by selling other shares and doing tax lost harvesting. You may think your company is going to the moon and decide to co
