There is only one simple rule: Don't be a troll.
Most discussed posts
- We're Shutting Down and I'm Scared
- I have a full-time job, but spend nearly 100% of company-time working on my startup. My startup was covered by Ad Age, which my boss receives. He was in a meeting when the article hit, so I went into his email and deleted it.
- Hiring girls is difficult (because very few work in the space)
- I'm a software engineer at a startup, and I'm clueless about how to get a date. What should I do?
- I am a sole non-technical female founder. I could be shitting rainbows and unicorns out my ass (which I do, daily) and investors still won't touch me with a stick. I know for a fact if I were two dudes I'd be fully funded by now.
- I am a woman CEO and hooked up with a guy the first night we met- he wants to join my company but I just can't get over the way we met.
- How horrific is it to realize the tech accelerator manager who sexually assaulted a founder might be the one from your program?
- How to deal with the impostor syndrome?
- My startup ruined my marriage - and I am now living with my parents.
- Startup ran out of funding before the launch; had to go on the road, couch surfing for two months
Facebook and Netflix offer better compensation than Google. Microsoft and Apple offer a bit less. But it’s all pretty close. For startups salaries are all over the place. Some, like Dropbox pay very well. Others don’t.
Fresh grads in hot fields (machine learning/AI/big data) can start at 500k, but they are outliers.
taxes and housing eats up lots of that.
