If the business users never need to write, just read, then you could set the projects to public (if your instance is in a private network) and then people can have vis, and you don't need seats for those who aren't writing . I th

Sure, if you don't want people to look at your code, don't make it public? I'd argue with you that a GitHub profile could be a useful signal, but it's not a given. As a hiring manager: - If they don't have a GH pr

Make a readme that says "This project is me exploring how to do Y so I can learn the ins and outs". Solved.

You can do that or you could also put a readme on your GitHub that it's a place where you explore hobby projects and you are interested in "x, y, and z". When I go to a GitHub as a hiring manager, I try to get as much signal

Correct me if I'm wrong, but someone could fork Eth, and write code to "release these funds" back to their "owners" right? Adoption of this fork would be the critical factor, but if enough money gets locked up, it g

I assume you mean because the extra money that I'm putting into my house could make more money in the market so instead of a 13th payment, get gains in the market?

Thank you for clarifying. You are a bit wrong, and I'm not a tax accountant, but speaking from experience as someone who has had options that have vested and exercised in startups, and have paid taxes on them. I appreciate you engaging

The most sad part is, while I'm not OP, I had a bank that supported bi-weekly payments, my mortgage was sold, and the new bank doesn't . What a kick in the pants!

This is going to sound mean but the more you talk the more confused I am about your original point. Please understand, I am trying to understand you. You originally said: > options being cheaper to purchase means a larger tax bill when

An options contract is the right to purchase shares at a certain price. Your vesting gives you the right to purchase more shares. If you do not purchase those shares, there was no gain, so there was no tax.

by lbotos 5y ago
I'm not sure what you mean. You aren't taxed when options vest because there was no gain. Only when you exercise options, and you will be taxed on the gain. So if you make more money, sure your tax will be higher. RSUs are taxed a

It's fascinating because the 2 YC backed startups I worked for both offered early exercise. Not saying you are wrong, In my n = 2 experience, I thought it was in the "YC Playbook".

Google is budgeting for more expensive engineers, so they end up hiring less.

I agree. So should that person get a "skip the vetting process" pass? At my current org, they don't. They go through the hiring process like everyone else, and the person that recommended them is not involved until they are h
