I'm not the OP and have absolutely nothing to do with the company. I replied to agree with your thoughts the pricing model was wrong and shared some more thoughts of my own; apologies if this was confusing, perhaps I should have made a

As an ex-Googler working in a customer facing role in Cloud you did very well to get a $72k bill written off! It's definitely possible but requires a lot of approvals and pulling in a few favours. I went through the process to write of

As a former London based FAANG employee my experience is that base salary might be that for a relatively junior engineer, but a mid-level with 5-8 years experience would make around £150-200k total comp (base, bonus, stock, benefits). 10-15

"its not possible to be accurate to that resolution with current hardware" Are you referring to the clock precision of consumer grade hardware here? In my experience the vast majority of financial time series data is reported in n
