Was watching Tulsa King and this dialogue from Sly Stallone was college in a nutshell “Do you think anyone really gives a s*** about what your college major is? English literature, biology, whatever. The whole point of a college degree is to show a potential employer that you showed up someplace four years in a row, completed a series of tasks reasonably well, and on time. So if he hires you, there’s a semi-decent chance that you’ll show up there every day and not f his business up”

An English lit major from an average state school is not going to have nearly the comp trajectory as a CS major from any top 25 school. Let’s be real

I also think your comparison is kind of weird…I don’t think that an English major from a state school is going to even have the same comp trajectory as an English major from top 25 school.

Great show!

I got approached by a competitor who will pay me $186K per year (so more than a 30% increase) and will also offer me equity that won't fully vest for 4 years (so essentially 25% year 1, 25% year 2, etc.). I won't get any actual money from this equity unless they are bought/go public.
