Has Facebook brought the world closer?

Can anyone explain how getting equity in a private company that doesn’t have intentions to go public works (or at least intentions in the foreseeable future)? How seriously should I consider this as real money? I guess if there’s a fundraising round there’s a chance you can be bought out, but is that it?

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work

Manager (VP) mad that I didn’t include her on a call with other Legal VPs earlier this week, despite me not organizing the call. Then Manager gets mad when I ask her to confirm whether I should pass on work to another Legal VP/VP’s team because I should have just sent it over without asking my Manager. Is it just me or is my Manager just being difficult?

Has anyone heard of wafra and their alternative investments group? They seem kind of secretive and there’s not much I can find on the deals that they’ve done.

Likely too small for this group but anyone come across solid channels for micro PE deals? Is this pretty much calling up a mom and pop shop you’re interested in and wining and dining them?

How do people in tech set up their banking? I have a primary bank account where my earnings have gone for the last 8 years. I always get promotions to open new bank accounts with other institutions for some cash reward. Is there any point to opening multiple accounts with diff banks? Kind of seems like a hassle but might be some advantage that I don’t know of

Why do recruiters waste candidates time by asking them to pursue jobs with a lower title, less compensation and a smaller scope? There is so much information available online today I just simply don’t understand why there is such a disconnect. For context, my current TC is around 325k and I have a Sr. PM title at Amazon. I frequently get recruited for PM roles at small companies offering 80-100k. What is the recruiters thought process?
