In the process of shutting down a business and cutting ties with a business partner. Lost significantly (200k+) and now feeling lost in general. How did you cope? How did you fight between going after the next opportunity? When did you feel it was time to try again?

Honest question, is this 200k loss in debt or cash?

About 70k cash and 120k in debt I'm carrying.

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

Hi everyone, I work at an early stage start up that just closed our round A. I just hired a director below me, however when it was time to come up with an offer I was removed from the conversation. The CO-founders said they’d handle the actual offer amount/equity. I joined early so salary is low but I have decent equity. Not sure if they didn’t want me seeing the offer or if this is normal for early start ups.
