Leave cushy job for startup? I will not promote I am a lead engineer / manager for a medium-sized company. I have been with the company for four years. Compensation and benefits are very good for relatively easy work. Vacation is five weeks with an additional week of sick leave. It is a relatively stress-free work environment and the work / life balance is a dream. My friend formed a startup and is closing on a $1.5m funding round. He offered me a position with 5% equity. The caveat is the salary and total comp is half of... 4 0 replies
Is it even possible to go from NEET to full employment? Any success stories? Last year I was hired as an intern at a givernment agency but I resigned before I started because I felt like a fraud and because it was such a big change for me to handle: Moving out, finding a house to rent, doing a job I had never done before. It just seemed unreal, and unrealistic. This year I might have a chance to work at a hotel if I make quick decisions. But again I hace to move out to live at hotel with... 5 0 replies

MBA 2020 Finder crashing when trying to clear trash I've had this problem recently where, if I try to delete apps (e.g. I just tried to delete Adobe Acrobat Reader) and hit "delete now" in trash, it says that the file can't be deleted. I've checked to see that it's not locked, and that I have read and write access. When I try to clear the trash, finder stalls and quits entirely, forcing me to restart my mac. has anybody else had this problem or know what's going on with this? Thanks in advance. 1 0 replies
Starting Long-Term Investing with ETFs – Need Advice! I'm planning to start investing with a long-term horizon (minimum 10 years) and will be following the DCA strategy. After some research, I’ve filtered out these 3 ETFs for my portfolio: Nippon India ETF Nifty 50 BeEs – 40% Motilal Nasdaq-100 ETF – 40% Nippon Midcap 150 ETF – 20% I’ve decided to use ETFs instead of mutual funds because they have lower fees, and I prefer index investing.

Do Indian parents "ground" their kids? In Hollywood movies and series, I've seen that western parents ground their children as punishment for doing something bad. First of all, IDK if my understanding of grounding is correct so correct me if someone has a better understanding- is it just preventing your kids from doing fun stuff like hanging out with their friends etc? Is there a generally agreed upon, culturally standard set of rules for what you can and can't take away from a kid when you ground them? Like laptop, phone etc. Now my main... 5 5 replies
10+ Sites Suddenly Dropped in GSC, What Gives? I have 10 - 20 sites that would rank on Page 4 - 6, not the best, but hey. The sites are approximately 1 month old.

Co-Founder Dynamics: Evaluating Contributions. I will not promote. Hey guys, I need input regarding our startup's co-founder dynamics. We have four co-founders with near-equal equity: three at 20% each and one at 30%, with 10% reserved for future hires and investment. Each co-founder has a distinct role - growth and product, sales, another is technical, and our CEO focuses on fundraising. Key questions I'm grappling with: 1. How should we measure and evaluate co-founder contributions given our different roles? 2. What's the appropriate stance on co-founders maintaining side projects? One of the co-founders pushing that no side... 4 0 replies
