Many times. Universally sharp, generally know how to focus on the right questions, keep the conversation on track, and maximize time efficiency. Most are very humble, laid back, down to earth people I wouldn’t mind hanging out with outside the office. A few have massive egos, too, but fewer than I would have guessed.

Agree but can I just say ability to make money consistently remains infinitesimally rare such that there should be more humility (and correspondingly lower fees) displayed.

I sit close to Kenny G’s office when in Chicago. He’s a chill dude for someone with orders of magnitude more money than me

I don’t work at Elliott, but I got to meet Paul Singer last year when he was in my firm’s offices. My honest first though was, “wow, he’s short!” Overall, I thought he was incredibly sharp and remarkably soft spoken considering what I had read in the news/online about Elliott.

Who ultimately decides the compensation offered to a candidate when being hired? Recruiter only? Hiring manager? Trying to figure out what aspects of the offer are owned by each person involved in the recruiting process (salary, sign-on bonus, level, etc).

Men, why ghost women on dating apps even though you showed interest? I matched with a guy on Hinge and he asked me out. We were supposed to meet Thursday night, but I forgot that I had something for work, so suggested a different day. Not only did he not respond, but he also changed the pictures on his profile multiple times, making it obvious that he was on the app/saw my messages! He then unmatched me. Never met him, so obviously not the love of my life, but just genuinely curious.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..

How would you leverage an existing rsu grant of a company that recently IPO-ed when negotiating a new grant in a new place (Series B tech firm).

Assume I have a grant worth of 300 that vests quarterly for the next 18months (in a current place that is already publicly traded)

Would kind of offer grant would you expect from high conviction Series B tech company if you wanted to switch? Would you be good with 1:1 match? would you be ok to get less because potential upside is higher?

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet.

I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
