I interviewed with a few startups. You likely won’t get a raise in your base (may even be a paycut) if you are joining series A-B, but you can get a good chunk of equity.

Would approach startup opportunities as you would with commercial due diligence. Think about their mkt potential, competitive, customer set, etc. also, if they have a lot of tier 1 VCs (e.g., Sequoia, Greylock, A2Z) as investors, that’s generally a good sign.

Let’s see who remembers their MPRE. Just found a position at my dream firm I would like to interview for; however, I was also just placed on a deal where dream firm is the opposite counsel. I don’t want my current firm to know I’m thinking of leaving in case I don’t, so asking for a conflicts waiver doesn’t seem feasible. But the deal won’t close until next year, so I doubt the position will be around if I wait that long. Any advice?

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?
