Today at our town's summer book fair one of my students said "Dang Mrs. B we were unfamiliar with your game!" after I negotiated a better price since I was buying an entire box of books. Another said, "You know Mrs. B has that book rizz!" I'm going to assume that "book rizz" is positive here right? I just said thank you 😂

Doesn't sound new, sounds like something from the 50's. "Rizz"..."Dang"..."Wizz". These are words I heard in the movie Greese. And I'm in my late 40's.

HAHAHA It's always so funny to hear whatever the new lingo is that kids use, sometimes I end up having to google things just to make sure that something their saying isn't actually inappropriate in some way. It's really hard to keep up with everything that my students say though, I feel like the new cool work changes every week.

You did fine. For reference "rizz" is short for charisma. Guessing the context they admire your ability to negotiate and make a good deal charismatically. It doesn't work all the time as just a replacement word for charismatic though. ;)

You pulled a good book deal and should be proud 👏

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
