When job searching, how important is location? We spend most of our time at work so does location matter that much? For example, your dream job offers but it’s in like Kentucky or some random area.

Depends on how much your location matters to you? Is all of your family local and it’s important your close to them? Significant other with a career? Friends? How attached are you to your city and it’s activities?

For me I’m pretty much established here and would only move for one hell of an opportunity.

Very person dependent! For me, I spent 3 years in Cincinnati for a dream job. It surprised me how much I liked the city, but ultimately it was also the reason I chose to leave as I didn’t see my life based there. I do now value location (both macro, and micro- making sure the office is a nice easy commute) as more important than I previously did

How do you manage other team’s and teammate’s quarterly goals?

We’re interested in using a product name that is trademarked by another company. The company is still operating but this specific product (of many they have trademarked) doesn’t seem to be performing well or is not a significant part of their business. Has anyone ever approached and negotiated a situation like this? E.g., give equity , trademark assignment, perpetual license agreement, etc? Other than consult legal (we have a IP attorney), curious how other startups approached this.
