The real problem is that workers negotiate salaries as part of their H1B. A better system would allocate H1Bs to the most talented foreign workers and let them choose their own employer here in the US, negotiating a market rate salary if th

I live in SF, but it's any midsize market (or larger) really. Loan officers are effectively sales people, they eat what they kill. The better ones have teams working for them in a sales-support capacity. Its the same with real estate a

Loan Officers get a percentage of the loan amount, and it's not rare for them to make $300k/year in a good year.

Interesting post in that this is the first time I've seen someone from the bitcoin speculator group challenge the thesis of those in the VC/startup group. Both groups are clearly 'talking their book', but this reads like

As a spokesperson of the company you may want to avoid a defensive tone. Let me translate that into something friendlier for you: "At Sonar, we offer a drop-in javascript widget so you don't have to write code. Twilio is a more

Many people seem to have game theory backward. Game theory is a modeling tool that assumes all relevant utility is baked into the payoff matrix. Games (payoff matrices) that capture unique outcomes/behaviors are often given memorable n

Same story when I was at Duke. Students can get either a BA or a BS in Econ, where the BS requires more math courses. Many BA students freaked out when there was calculus on the first exam. As a EE major I found it pretty amusing.

You may need to recalibrate before graduation, it's about right for recent grads, depending on amount raised and team size of course. You'll get more cash comp post series-A/B/C, with lower % equity.

They likely don't record the team composition, so this would require hand-labeling of any data points. Do we know total applicants? I'd like to know what n produced a 5% sample.
