GS intern pay in Salt Lake City was like $33 or $35 an hour a few years ago. I can only imagine it’s higher now. No way the interns aren’t paid at a big bank - not in this day and age.

Hmm, some of the details of this story doesn't seem to agree with most Apple-watchers (as in people who try to figure out what the new features on the new products will be). For example, the story mentions the addition of blood pressur

At least amongst my friends, the equity portion % has mostly stayed the same as past years, but the cash comp has gone up significantly. That sort of makes sense to me. But in the end, if you have a great exit, your 0.1% or whatever equity

Anyone know how 83(b) elections (aka "early exercise") works with Californian tax? After the 83(b) election, if you fully vest all the early exercised shares in California, then move elsewhere for a year or more before selling, wi

Wow, finding out just how many services use Auth0 because of this. Like I can't log into Segment (getting a 500). I guess Okta did buy something core to the Saas ecosystem
