OP - there is a premium version available that charges $11-$30 per month depending on the length of commitment. Like any other software platform, the mgmt team wants to build the user base to collect more information. In the case of Grammarly, having more users is even more essential to the product than say, Slack - the error detection features likely rely on ML algorithms, and because of the quirks of natural language processing (e.g., colloquialisms, industry specific language), they most likely require even larger data sets than usual.

In the future, I can see Grammerly trying to add more languages to its platform (e.g., French) and then selling to a large strategic such as Microsoft or Google that will not only look to integrate the product into its word processing but also purchase the underlying technology, which is likely very advanced. (The M&A business case using the latter could be said for a number of enterprise software companies). Or it could try to grow independently, though penetrating enterprise accounts could be challenging and organic entry into adjacencies could prove to be challenging.

How could it be anything other than free? It seems to be a more polished version of spell check, which every email system and word processing program has built in. Who would be willing to pay for it when they have a proven free alternative available by default?

Many of us gained net worth in 2020 by having a stable job and investing in the stock market (some gained a lot by investing in Tesla, ARK etc.). In the meantime, millions of people lost jobs and could not afford rent (and these same people are unlikely to have benefited from the stock market). How do you feel about it?

I’m not expecting any “correct answer” as I don’t think there is one correct answer. Just how people actually feel about it

After salary discussion and verbal confirmation I’ve been waiting for my OL since 1.5 month, unfortunately today I got a mail from Barclays that they’ll not be progressing further and on taleo portal the status has been changed from completed to application unsuccessful. I’m really disappointed but also not able to understand what could be the reason behind this?

If the cost of labor and material is roughly fixed, will I make more money renovating more expensive houses? eg, will a $100K house turn into $130K while a $200K house turns into $260K, both with the same $20K in improvements?

I know it’s not that easy, but do improvements tend to be % increases or fixed value increases?

Would love to hear your negotiation wins and fails, and lessons learned. One of my learnings is simply to ask. If you don't ask the answer is definitely no. My example was asking for additional equity. I got back a no, but was offered a signing bonus.

Hi Folks,

I have cleared all rounds of EY GDS and got email from HR to submit the documents. After 5 days and a follow up they gave a call back and confirmed few details and asked to drop an email with salary expectations.

It’s again more than a week and no response from them to any follow up and even not answering to calls.

Any suggestions what can be done here?As there are very few companies which are entertaining 3 months notice
