total compensation depends A LOT on when you joined and what the stock has been doing, especially a year after that (typical time RSUs start to vest). A lot of companies had seen their stock more than double, so a 500K grant turns into over

Best Buy often has better prices than Amazon. Since last year I find myself always double-checking the price of anything I want outside Amazon and for big items (e.g. TV, tv stand, etc.) Best Buy is a first choice for sure.

while either extreme is bad, I find it much more comfortable in CA vs Germany. Have you ever been in people traffic in subway during rush hours? Throw in flu season on the mix. I’ll take car traffic any day over that. Electric self drivi

no business gives away anything for free. You “pay” for Google searches with you searches/data being sold (and this is mostly a good thing). Alternatively “free stuff” is paid for by being bundled with something you pay for. (2) market

Can someone please explain why it is well deserved? For example, when I was at MSFT it was very clear why Satya deserved to be the next CEO - for leading and growing the cloud business from irrelevance to a major pillar of MSFT. What about

A recruiter recently emailed me about a startup whose “Series A was backed by Khosla” like it was a good thing! I actually replied to him that this is a show stopper to me. Few years ago I did not join Theranos after looking at their board.

they don’t have everything (and I regulary buy things from them). Try watching “Spirited Away” there or upcoming “Mandolorian”. Also, what you can watch on Netflix depends on where you are.
