Hey entrepreneurs! One thing I have struggled with since leaving my 9-5 is health insurance and not paying an outrageous amount of money for healthcare. (no more employer-sponsored plan) I recently started working with a health insurance advisor who specializes in business owners and entrepreneurs who really hooked it up! Sharing his contact in case anyone else is in the same boat and wants to protect their finances/health.

COVID has made me realize I have no idea what I want to do with my life. My job has been increasingly frustrating, and the salary freezes/loss of benefits has made me resent what I’m doing even more. As a junior I’m not making crazy money and could probably pick up a nannying gig and make the same. Is it crazy for me to take some time to figure out my real goals and do something that doesn’t make me so miserable in the meantime?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

I work for a CPA firm, 45-50 employees, and we're looking at expanding our benefits package. Right now, we only offer 2 or 3 weeks vacation, 1 week paid sick time, healthcare, 401(k) with profit sharing, and Life/Long-term disability coverage. No dental, no parental leave, no ST disability, no EAP etc.

Could anyone else in this industry, or in another professional services industry, weigh in on what benefits you offer and which ones are most popular?

Thanks all!!

Any advice for starting to get back in shape? I used to be in good shape, doing orange theory all the time, but stopped going. I haven’t worked out in months besides walking.

Just an observation, I’m at Stansted and the airport is packed, people without masks everywhere. Almost like pre pandemic.

Do you need a covid test to travel domestically within the US if you’re fully vaccinated? I would’ve thought the answer would be no but my parents are traveling for the first time and thought their local airport told them it was necessary. Thanks

CS and SWE is great in that it can be applicable to a great range of fields, to create immensely helpful tools for other things.

Things that come to my mind are government-related, military, some fintech. Sciences have great need of computing, and can have big impact, but income is less clear.

Has anybody ever seen a co-founder equity split with the CEO taking a large majority of the equity? I'm talking like 80% between 3 people? Let's say two hardcore technical founders and one business minded engineer as CEO.

The argument I've heard is that they're going to give up most of that equity anyway during raises and they don't want to tie up others in that decision making process if they're not involved in the business side. Wondering what people have seen
