250K with COLA

OP, that's awesome. Congrats! Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You could do a flexible work arrangement. You could consult on your own part time. You could walk dogs. Other ways to make a little extra without the time commitment and stress of what we do.

Thanks P1. Good food for thought.

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything.

So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

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!
