Ouch for Donnie

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!

Have an offer from AWS for an L7 Principal PMT role: $215k base + $275k sign on bonus for Year 1 and $215k for year 2 + 5100 RSUs (@ $130 / share). This is the initial offer; where is there room for negotiation? Base or Sign on Bonus or RSUs? I realize it's a good offer, but I'm looking for: $225k base + existing sign on + 5500 RSUs. Does that sound like a decent counter?

If you have an opposing view, why delete your comments? If you have your belief then stand up for them, but don’t be afraid to admit you’re wrong. What’s unraveling with the details around the Breonna Taylor case is what has been experienced many times over now, which is that police tampered with evidence for a different outcome. It’s time conservatives come to the table and admit this is wrong and they were wrong for defending bad police who abuse the system. Deleting your comments is telling.

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.

Trump supporters and republican voters! I’d like to hear your reasons/motives for voting Trump for president. No judgement here and please keep comments civil 😀
