I poured a whole cup of tea. The whole thing. It stopped working immediately, so I just shut it off, but left it to dry upside-down (something I read online that would apparently help). I went and bought a new laptop right away, knowing tha

Disclaimer: I work at one of said scheduling startups. I don't want you to think I'm deterring you purposefully, but one hint is that scheduling alone is just not lucrative enough for your goals. Talk to a few merchants & you

Product management is definitely not people management. If anything, it is closest to UX, but also combines strategy and marketing. In early-stage startups, the CEO is most often playing the product manager. 70% of a PM's job should be

Yep, that's right. I work for a US company. I'd agree with that about Australian companies not being open to remote. TBH, I don't even consider Australian companies anymore. In my experience, salaries are lower and I feel tha

Pretty simple thing that I learned through yoga: Breathe deeply & concentrate on making your exhale longer than your inhale.

As a foreigner who got hired by a US company, I'd recommend going to the US & holding interviews in-person. My experience is that a lot of people apply from overseas - if you're already physically in the US, it seems you'

1. How much effort is required to build this feature? 2. How many other people have requested this feature? Just saying "Mailchimp has this feature" doesn't really answer any of the 2 questions above. Mailchimp are a HUGE te

An idea is earlier than a pivot. A pivot is a directional change away from the initial idea, often based on user feedback.

You could try sending an email (requires an active base) proposing the new features/product of your MVP & see who replies. It costs, but you could also set up a landing page & an Adwords campaign for relevant, but very targeted

I haven't found anything that really beats InDesign itself for heavy print work, but I have been using Sketch for web marketing material (brochures, getting started guides etc) and it's worked so far. I'm using the pixel dime

I've lead design & PM at several startups & I can basically tell straight-out, that building without a design, wireframe, or at the very least a written spec is completely inefficient & it's likely that you will have t

Agreed. You should definitely factor your own super payments into your rate (whether or not you pay super is up to you).

You don't have to contribute to your super if you're self-employed. If you're planning to buy a house in the next 10 years, it makes zero sense to lock away what could effectively be money off a mortgage. Save what would be y

Can you give any indication of how this info was shared? Was it a presentation every quarter? A quick email every month?

by seekingcharlie 11y ago
I get that one should ask before they interview to determine their risk. But what about if you're already working at the company? Should you periodically ask this information or should founders be sharing it?

by seekingcharlie 11y ago
Would one say that these metrics should be reported on by founders to employees throughout a startup's lifecycle? As an employee, should you know your own company's burn rate each month for example?
