Yes, I had to sell SQ before it basically doubled bc of independence

I haven’t run into too many restrictions on companies I wanted to invest in (maybe 2 in the last year that were not permitted)

I plan to leave after a certain threshold when investments have greater potential than salary and the restrictions are no longer worth it.

QQQ index or a technology ETF would have given you exposure to the companies in EY4’s first list.

How to negotiate salary when you’ve given them a range? I recently panicked and told the recruiter my expected range. If I get to the offer stage, I assume they will offer me the lower end of my range and of course I don’t want to sound ungrateful or greedy, but is there a way to negotiate to a little higher?

Btw I would be fine with the lower end of my range if offered, I’m just curious because I gave a range and not a hard number, is there a way to negotiate?
