What are the advantages of working for a pre-IPO company?

I've been looking into several, and while they all seem to have great cultures, some are lacking in providing the benefits (401K, ESPP, etc.) that you can get at a more established company. What am I missing here?

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

What will be the expected salary for a role of Software Engineer (2.5 YOE) in Thoughtspot (except RSUs,benefits)?

Which is better Fractal Analytics or PWC India in terms of learning, career growth, wlb, other benefits for 8 year experience in data engineering?

Hi all,
I have a small creative agency that I have built over the last 4 years. It’s been a rollercoaster when it comes to revenue, making it hard to predict finances & pay myself consistently. This year has been particularly financially stressful.

The thought of closing hurts my heart and my pride and can feel like wasted time. But financial stability vs time freedom is rough.

I also recently got a full-time job offer for $200k base with excellent benefits. It’s tempting. What would you do?

I have a background in engineering and an MBA; 20 years of experience in various technology sectors (software, semiconductor, aerospace, healthcare). Looking at career options in climate change/sustainability. Any ideas? I’ve mostly worked on products, and I love new technology.

Does EY Australia has a firm Christmas shutdown? Any leave liability related stuff?

I see Schwab’s best margin rate is 6.575%, wouldn’t you need to invest in an asset that appreciates more than that to make using margin worth it? I know you can use the margin interest as a tax write off, am I missing other benefits?

I have a serious question regarding this because time is running out. I quit my job last year on Nov 5. I had about two weeks of PTO accrued and I wasn’t paid out my PTO. It was nowhere on company policy other than I was told “it’s known we don’t pay out PTO when someone quits”. Could I file a law suit to get me paid for those accrued hours?

What are your thoughts on paying PMI on a mortgage? I’m looking to buy a house in a year or two that are $300k. I have about $80k in cash and don’t know if I should continue building up my cash reserves and put 20% down or push more to retirement. I’m currently at about 20% going to 401K/IRA, then get 6% profit sharing. I save 54% of my gross income on average.

Do I negotiate my salary and benefits package? I was offered a 30k raise for a new position at another agency, which ended up being 10-15k more than what I was asking for. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. The downside is the target bonus is only 5%, which is down from my current 10%.

If one has a 401k (pre tax) thorough their employer and an independent Roth IRA (after tax), is investing in a Roth 401k (after tax) a better option if the employer allows it? Making a little under 100K for reference

I’d like input!

I am currently a charge nurse and am in a “Pathway to Leadership Program” that will come with promotions into leadership/administration. I am concerned that going through the leadership ladder will lead to a lot of politics.

I am thinking of getting a masters of healthcare informatics, and would love input from people in both industries and any advice you have!

Would you continue into the nursing leadership ladder or go into health informatics (which also has leadership!)?

Looking for remote healthcare roles that I can operate from Southeast Asia during a gap year (I am a dual-national). Flexible with anything that allows me to build on skills like project management, analytics, PI/QI, and anything else among the delivery of care. I will be a recent grad with internship/project experience in healthcare strategy roles. Looking for ideas, referrals, or just a chance to connect 😊

I am terrible at withholding salary information from recruiters. Yesterday a recruiter gave the line “I would hate for us to get to the end of the interview process only for it to turn out that we couldn’t give the salary you would need” so I panicked and threw out a number that was thirty percent higher than my current pay. He then told me the salary range which was way higher! Do you really just firmly repeat “I need to learn more about the team and benefits before I can assign a number?”

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

Thoughts on working for DoorDash? Role posted for the Chicago area if that matters.

I’ve seen a lot of people going into forex lately. I understand the trading aspect, but the part where I get more money the more people I recruit makes it seem like a Ponzi scheme. Additionally you have to pay a monthly fee to stay on the platform, I’ve seen as high as $100. Am I missing something here or is this just a scam?

Received a written offer from Amazon 4 wks ago, pushed for higher level, reinterview. HM supported it but couldn’t get it done. My og offer went from start date of oct 10 to Jan 3rd. Recruiter said the numbers are locked. I couldn’t reach the HM. Running out of time I accepted. I contacted the HM again saying yay! I accepted. I Have been ghosted for 5 days. Recruiter said background check should come via email soon. Haven’t seen anything. Weirdest experience ever. Why wouldn’t the HM reply?
