8 year US Navy F/A-18E pilot really wanting to start a business in the Hampton Roads, VA area but outside of flying tactical aviation I’m not sure how to translate those skills into something profitable. Looking for a new industry or idea to move forward. I have a business degree from a decade ago, and they never really teach you how to go about coming up with an idea that fits a market need, raising capital, or best steps to take in the beginning. Any advice would be appreciated! V/r, “PIB”

What is the Expected Salary for 12 yoe Java aws developer?

Got a new job offer letter. But my existing company wants to retain me with pay revision so I submitted my offer letter of new job to them.

What are some of your tactics to avoid missed items and stay active and on top of everything through the Covid funk?

Has anyone started/considered starting an individual/small business income tax preparation side gig? What were the challenges juggling w/ a Full Time job and getting clients?

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do. How do you know what your passion is? I mean I think a lot about golf but i don’t think that’s a passion. It’s my hobby. I think most people just know.
