Are you ready to plateau in exchange for WLB?

Plateau is a strong word.. slow down progression May be a better way to put it

Slalom - ~3-4 years. Variety of factors, could be quicker (cloud is mo I got very quickly if you perform), ratings play a factor, product visibility, RoI to Google/have you done any 10x opportunities.

You’ll get equity refreshers yearly on top of your initial lump sum, an annual bonus, and a % raise too, so the comp is definitely always competitive.

I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?
I recently transitioned from public to private sector finance to be more well-rounded and I’m having a hard time connecting with people in the space. I work for a fund admin in the digital asset space for HF & PE/VC firms and I noticed how much “bro culture” seems to impact the industry. Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.
