Posting for my bf: he’s a 3rd year quant/programmer at a top asset mgmt firm in a final round interview with a finance start up. He’s proven he can add a lot of value that they need but is overqualified for what they’re looking for. Tips on upselling to a more senior role or negotiating details? He currently gets ~180 TC but is willing to take a pay cut

Should be able to negotiate for a much larger equity piece. As for being overqualified, I would try to position it as he can help them grow faster while also eliminating the need to hire another person in the short term once they need someone of his caliber.

Feeling grateful & proud as I reached my goal ($50K by 25) 5 months early. But I can’t help feeling a bit overwhelmed. In the lifelong scheme of things, $50K doesn’t seem like much. I worked really hard and sacrificed a lot (including mental health) to get to this but it seems a little tiring knowing I still have so long to go. I recently moved out and in with my BF so my expenses are split, but nonetheless they are still expenses. Any tips on continuing this journey and keeping the drive?
