If you get the job at FAANGs or at a decent hedge fund then yeah. TC getting bigger

Good question. Those of us in our small investment group believe 40-60 cents is possible before next Wednesday, but who knows. After the presentation is the tricky part. John Ternus is a mechanical engineer and has been working on this for some time. The hinge mechanism is a big deal and differentiator for the folding phone. We assume that he has been working with LiquidMetal, more specifically Lugee Li, for years developing the hinge. Will he invite Li on stage, will he mention LiquidMetal, use the generic name “bulk metallic glass”, or skim over it? It’s anyone’s guess. If he mentions LiquidMetal by name, we expect this to go well over a dollar. A few think $3-4 with it settling back to $2. But honestly, the biggest news of all this is the huge production capacity they are building out for LiquidMetal. We believe that Li must have contracts in hand or he wouldn’t have left as CEO of Yihao to build out LQMT production. We believe that the days of hype and crash are over and consistent revenue will be coming in. The company has $30mm+ plus in assets with a low burn rate, so they are in a very healthy position. They have two sites in Asia and the U.S. and launched LiquidMorphium. They should be earning revenue from IP, production, and selling machines. Li’s stated goal is NASDAQ, and that’s $4/share. We expect to see that in 2-3 years, if not sooner. Li is LQMT’s COB, and the CEO is Tony Chung. TC’s short term incentive is $1/share. As you know, the stock market is a gamble. Who would have thought that Apple would be trading down just before these huge products launch? As mentioned before, just do you own DD and see if it fits your risk/reward strategy. If you go long on this, I think you’ll be happy because of what’s in the pipeline. I don’t know if that helps, but wish you luck in your investments.

A senior (or staff?) software engineer will have a TC of around $100M/year if Anthropic IPO at $2.5T. The new Tim Apple, John Apple has an estimated net worth of roughly $75M to $100M. Sure, there is no AI bubble. QQQ straight $1,000/share next year.

Consumer commodities move on headline inventory cycles, but real structural pricing power lives in high-NA EUV optics and advanced packaging yields. If you're tracking supply chokepoints, look at the yield delta between thermal compression non-conductive film (TC-NCF) at 60% vs mass reflow molded underfill (MR-MUF) at 80% for high-bandwidth memory (HBM3e). When advanced packaging thermal dissipation chokepoints limit silicon throughput, gross margins shift upstream to the physical toolmakers holding proprietary optical numerical aperture patents. That's where physical supply lag actually compounds.

Love leetcode, TC 400k cad. Planning to blow my money on fake and gey meme stocks 

Jealous_Bookkeeper20

Demand's there, but memory is still a commodity and capacity isn't the only bottleneck. The real friction is packaging yield. SK Hynix is hitting 80% yields with MR-MUF, but Micron's still struggling around 60% with TC-NCF. If you're buying memory names for a 3x run, you're betting they solve the packaging yield drag before the next CapEx cycle cools down. How are you modeling the yield assumptions for that packaging transition?

While retail panics over Magnificent Seven valuations, the weekend news just handed us the ultimate macro validation for the absolute bottleneck of the AI supercycle. The Real Reality Check: A Physical Wall The Financial Times and Bloomberg just revealed that Google is capping Meta's access to Gemini AI simply because they do not have the hardware capacity to sell. Google is even paying SpaceX $920M/month just to lease backup GPUs. The limiting factor of the global economy is no longer code—it is physical silicon and memory bandwidth. Global token consumption is doubling month-over-month as autonomous AI agents run endless background loops. The Play: Buy the King of the HBM War Stop trying to guess which software giant wins. Follow the cash straight to the undisputed king of the infrastructure layer: SK Hynix (58% global HBM market share, currently trading at a joke 8x forward P/E). As broken down in the viral video "The HBM War of 2026", SK Hynix commands a massive 72% operating margin because of their unique, proprietary packaging technique: Advanced MR-MUF (Mass Reflow Molded Underfill).   While competitors are choking on clumsy film-type layouts (TC-NCF) or risking terrible yields on early hybrid bonding, Hynix thins individual DRAM wafers to a staggering 30 micrometers and melts/bonds the entire 16-layer tower at once. This provides unmatched heat dissipation. For HBM4, they’ve paired this process with a custom 12-nm TSMC logic base die, completely locking in their dominance for Nvidia's next-gen architectures.  Bottom Line With over 50% of future volume locked into un-cancelable contracts until 2027, SK Hynix is completely sold out. The upcoming NASDAQ cross-listing on July 10th will open the floodgates for US institutional capital right before Q2 earnings on July 29th. Any near-term dip is a gift. The bottleneck always wins.

I was offered a senior software Eng job at MDA and I really, really wanted to take it because it's space and Canadian (not too far from where I live). But the TC was about 30% lower than my current fully remote job I have with an American company, and I would have had to go in office 3 days a week. The TC also doesn't include stock, which was disappointing, and their pension plan was not great and opt in via their union (but this job didn't qualify as it was management). All that to say, I really want to work there one day, but there is absolutely no way their comp structure is attracting top talent. It's just not nearly good enough. And as such I can't invest in them.

Admirable-Gas-2823

TC includes stock so yes I would agree that's accurate for senior engineers when you include stock bonuses. Blue origin pays significantly, significantly more for their work, with much less weekend work required, and is the main reason SpaceX engineers head to BO.

The people making 200k as an entry level engineer is more of an anomaly. I only see that happening at some FAANG companies (and even then it’s not 200k base, that’s TC) and hedge funds/big finance.

Nah, no vessel ownership at all, confirmed in the 20-F. Zero ships on the balance sheet, zero financial debt. 2025 was a kitchen sink year because of the Messi reverse merger mess. But 2026 is clean, CEO confirmed that on the Q4 earnings call. The 8-10 figure you might be thinking of is the TC book, vessels HMR charters in at fixed rates and fixes out at higher rates keeping the spread. Temporary operating control, not ownership. The 40 vessels are all commercially managed for third-party owners. The interesting part on the TC book: those vessels were almost certainly booked at pre-Hormuz rates, confirm this in the Q1 filing when it drops. When the strait effectively closed and VLCC rates went tits up. HMR was likely sitting on vessels chartered in cheaper rates and fixing them out at war rates keeping the spread. The CEO confirmed on the Q4 earnings call that one VLCC voyage generated a commission north of $300,000, with the vessel earning over $450,000 per day on a 50+ day voyage. That flows directly to HMR's bottom line. So im excited for Q1, but we'll see.

Proxzar

I have done quite a bit of DD on Heidmar $HMR. I will just add this, because every time I see any posts or talk about $HMR people believe it's a high cost low margin shipowner. But in reality HMR owns 0 ships and it's a fee-based maritime management platform. The correct valuation framework is earnings multiples (Like OP noted) and not asset-based metrics. So yeah the IMPP comparison doesn't really work here. But IMPP for sure also interesting. The Yahoo EV of $81M showing "EV > MC" includes \~$56M of operating lease liabilities. TC vessel commitments directly matched against charter revenues. Verified in the 6-K filing. Strip those out and actual EV is \~$28M. Not overvalued. The opposite. The closest comparable should be something like Clarkson PLC imo, the world's leading maritime services company trading at 17-20x earnings in London. Not a direct comp since Clarkson is primarily shipbroking but the asset-light fee-based model and multiple framework aligns far more than comparing to a vessel owner. As noted by the CEO himself they should be valued on P/E. Peers in this space trade between 10-15x. With 40 vessels under management, an active TC book, and EBITDA positive Q1 confirmed we are looking at some multiple of earnings that the current price simply does not reflect. HMR trades at under 1x earnings in a record year. At \~$28M EV against those confirmed Q1 statements it's not impossible you're paying for the entire business in one year of earnings. That's the absurdity here. And given what's been going on with tanker rates and the strait, HMR is literally set up perfectly for this environment. Upside is huge in my opinion. My main risks I found worth noting: Capital concentration — roughly 65% of the managed fleet comes from one related party family. Not a dealbreaker given they own 45% of HMR themselves so pulling vessels hurts them too, but worth understanding. Thin float — 5.51M shares publicly traded. Any buying or selling moves this stock hard in both directions. That's the volatility risk here and probably also why it's sitting at these absurd levels in the first place. This could very well be the most mispriced value stock in this market right now. Im not trying to pump, I've been doing some HMR work recently and had to write myself off hehe. All the filings and interviews are public so do your own research.

Yah it did already get posted. Here's the text though in case anyone wants A Qatari complex housing the world’s largest liquefied natural gas export plant suffered “extensive damage” amid a sharp escalation of attacks on energy facilities across the Persian Gulf. The Ras Laffan Industrial City, home to the LNG plant that accounted for about a fifth of global supply before production was halted earlier this month, was hit by an Iranian missile after four others were intercepted, authorities said late Wednesday. Hours later, Abu Dhabi shut its Habshan gas facilities after they were hit by falling debris from an intercepted strike. The incidents mark yet another escalation in hostilities in the region and follow a string of attacks targeting oil and gas infrastructure in recent days. Crude and natural gas prices surged earlier in the day after Israel attacked Iran’s giant South Pars gas field. Tehran responded with a warning that several energy sites in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates had become “legitimate targets.” “A retaliatory attack on Ras Laffan is exactly what the global natural gas market feared the most,” said Tom Marzec-Manser, Europe gas and LNG director at consultancy Wood Mackenzie Ltd. “We’re yet to know which part of the industrial complex has been damaged, but either way it’s going to be bullish for gas prices when the market opens on Thursday.” Brent oil futures extended gains after the attack, rising as much as 8% on Wednesday to $111.90 a barrel. State-controlled [QatarEnergy](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/16453Z:QD) said all personnel were accounted for at its LNG facility, which had been [evacuated](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/terminal/TC3RSVKK3NYC) hours earlier. Qatar’s interior ministry said the fire caused by the strike was under control. Qatar “considers this aggression a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of the state’s sovereignty, as well as a direct threat to its national security and the stability of the region,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a social media post. It later ordered Iranian military and security attaches as well as affiliate staff to leave the country within 24 hours. The Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a post on X that no injuries were reported at Habshan. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. operates one of the world’s largest onshore gas processing facilities there, with 14 trains able to produce more than 6 billion cubic feet of gas a day, enough to supply South Korea. The Saudi Defense Ministry also said the country had thwarted a drone attack targeting a gas facility in its eastern region. In a separate incident, shrapnel from a ballistic missile fell near a south Riyadh refinery.

I think many companies have bonus structures already that can slash a huge chunk of executives total compensation if the company does not perform well, for example by eliminating bonuses entirely which make up a huge chunk of their TC. Also, many companies practice layoffs in equal measure throughout each layer of the business, so at Meta 20% of managers, senior managers, directors and so on would be cut. I don’t see any issue with that approach, it would be silly to try to make it so the executives are hit “first” by that kind of thing. Great way to lose your attractiveness to outside hires though. 

PanamaCanelOwner

even better, new guy will probably have a massive incentive in his TC to pump the stock

Not really true at all. Google is not the great place to work that it used to be. Lots of top researchers leaving to protest Google's unethical work, or to achieve higher TC elsewhere. >I can't believe OpenAI is been this stupid. But Good for Google. Google was already killing it and OpenAI just did them a huge solid. What did OpenAI do? I'm not seeing them having done anything to help Google. Again, the drama last week was about anthropic, not OpenAI.

Perks of working at Walmart baby my unvested shares have done nothing but straight line up. TC has been way higher than expected

cold84

Yes, that’s the gist of it. The predetermined share is based on your target compensation and your the current share price. Say your TC is $500K but $300K is equity, if the share price is $10, that’s 30k shares..at $5 that’s 60k shares. Usually new hires are given a grant vested over 4 years with total dollar amount that gets converted to shares at that point, so in the case above it’d be $1.2M for initial grant and you are right in that this would not affect dilution if prices go down. In addition, there are annual refreshers that provide employee new grants, usually at annual equity dollar value ($300k) vested over 3 years in SNAP’s case. For this, they would basically need to grant double the number of shares as the previous year, if stock price drops 50% within a year, which is basically what SNAP has done. This also doesn’t factor in quickly declining stock will result in your top performers to leave since their older grant is heavily underwater, in some cases resulting in their TC being less than someone much junior but just so happen to join at a much lower share price. Companies like META combated this during COVID by topping off underwater grant holders to bring them back up to target TC. This requires granting more shares.

Oh then its just that you haven't had the comp talk with your manager this year. They'll give you refreshers for next year to keep your TC in alignment. It goes year to year after the first four years.

All I’ll say is while the job market is bad, it’s not as bad if you have experience and are targeting relevant roles. I received 5+ offers from my interview gauntlet last year, most exceeding my AWS TC. I avoided FAANG companies and only interviewed at places that are on a solid growth trajectory and have had no/minimal layoffs. This included startups, defense/govtech, and not quite big tech (think Snowflake, Datadog).

I’m not an engineer so my comp is probably lower than these folks, I’ve w2’d around 160k TC the last few years.

I called it quits at 80k because I wasn’t going to keep throwing money into it. Hell, even the wheel bearings went out 😂.

cherry_blossom_7471

I would, especially if that call is for September, again only downside is mango with his tarrifs for the upcoming earnings but other than that Walmart is an insanely good and steady business and they’ve been pivoting alot into tech. Hence the qqq inclusion moving away from spy. They also just rolled out digital price tags across all stores and are moving associates to google pixels instead of the super expensive TC devices so again they’re going pretty tech heavy for a retailer imo. Also wmt has always been a recession-proof stock

Nickel4me

In all seriousness. This is very sad. There are plenty of hard workers out there where the thought of hitting it big in the market greatly affects judgement. I wouldn’t be able to deal with this. $80K to some is a crap ton of money. And, if it was to save up for a house could literally mean waiting another FEW YEARS. This is very sad. I’m sorry this happened OP. Even with me earning ~ $350K/YR TC, I kick myself when I lose even $5K in the market. I own Tesla stock that I bought 17yrs ago for $1500; I bought 50 shares at the time. Well, I sold about 1/3 when it was at a high (before all the splits) because I kept seeing it go up and down very abruptly. It was high and thought it was now going to drop (over valued) so I sold some shares, thinking I’d buy even more shares with the same funds at the discounted share price. Well, nope, it climbed like a frickin rocket. I rebought with the funds I had from the previous sale but wasn’t able to re-buy 11 shares. Now, you might say what’s 11 shares. But, after a 5:1 split, then a 3:1 split, that equals 165 shares today at $438/ share. That little miss made me lose $70K. I think about this and what those 165 shares could be in the future…if say the stock goes to $2,000/ share in say 10yrs from now. It’s literally killing me. I guess you can’t look back. The crazy thing is, I DID NOT need the money! I was reading Reddit and other sites and watching others play the stock and WIN! Greed took over, plain and simple. To boot, I had to pay $4K in long term cap gains. SMH. To the OP. Just move forward and start living by the slow and steady wins the race mantra. Not everyone is so lucky. I just literally read a post here where a guy turned $4K in Options into $1M within a 1 year period with only a couple of trades. I could only be so lucky.

“Everyone thinks their job is so fucking hard” You need to calm down. Clearly there’s something mentally going on with you beyond this conversation. I’m not sure if it’s because you’re losing purely on opinion. But check yourself. You keep confusing “easy to enter” with “easy to replace.” Those aren’t the same thing. Lots of people can try trades. Very few last (I’ve seen it first hand). Physical attrition, licensing, safety standards, liability, and real-world competence filter people out. That’s why shortages persist despite trades being “easy to enter.” If it were just about desirability, wages would have already collapsed. They haven’t. Your “just learn to code” comparison actually proves my point (thanks). Coding scaled instantly because output is digital and globally compressible. Physical work isn’t. You can’t offshore, batch, or automate hands-on labor the same way, and you can’t shortcut time-in-seat experience when errors lead to critical fires, crashes, or deaths. Also the over saturation of SWE didn’t happen overnight, it took 10-15 years. I have 3 family members ranging in age in SWE & Mobile App development (one even created the original Amazon app). I’ve seen and understood the over saturation of that tech sector. People thought they could just type on the computer and make a bunch of money doing it, so people ran full force thinking they would get a $250K TC package right out of college, but in the businesses realized a lot of their workers actually sucked at their job and could be replaced with AI. And no one is claiming trades are immune to economic recessions. That’s a strawman you keep inventing to feel like you’re winning an argument you made up yourself. The claim is that demand for essential, regulated physical work is more resistant to AI than discretionary white-collar labor. That’s not an opinion. It’s basic labor economics. If your argument were correct, we’d already see sustained wage collapse and surplus in licensed trades across multiple recessions. We don’t. We see consolidation, overtime, aging workforces, and chronic shortages. If you’ve got data showing otherwise from BLS, FAA, or similar sources, post it. If not, the insults don’t substitute for evidence. You brought up a straw man recession argument, but I never mentioned a recession at all. Even the original poster didn’t mention a recession. He asked what will happen when AI does everyone’s jobs. Which I responded that trades would be some of the last things to lose jobs when it comes to AI. It can eliminate programmers/clerics/secretaries but how can it eliminate plumbers/electricians/mechanics. “I get that you don’t work with your brains” you think fixing airplanes doesn’t take brains? I bet you’d washout the first year. I’d be surprised if you could even change a tire.

People are trying to help you understand how "total compensation" or TC is calculated when you work at a tech company or any company that issues stock as part of your comp. You might've heard the word "RSUs" before. Restricted stock units. ____ Total comp = base pay + RSUs + bonuses _____ When your RSUs vest (aka you get the shares you were promised by the company), that is a taxable event. If I work at Google and I vest 30 units of stock, then the market rate of that day * 30 units = taxable income.

I managed to pair down so now just 5000 shares of GRUSF, 100 shares of TC NNF in a small holding of a AWH. Feels really good to be separating from this sector! I want to hold a little bit so I won’t have that regret if we do have a tremendous rally. Something like GRUSF could probably go to $10 which case I’d be up 30,000%

Gold and Silver are metal. Unless you have a manufacturing need for metal, that isn't a great purchase. I've worked in the metals industry, and it's great to hedge metals when you need them as raw material inputs. As you as you have started working, even part time, open a Roth IRA account and make a contribution. This starts the 5-year clock for the IRS requirement. Stay away from "products" and focus on basics. "Pay yourself first" means putting 15% of household income towards retirement. Did you read the topic here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Money/comments/1p5m7su/lost\_so\_much\_money\_im\_getting\_suicidal\_thoughts/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Money/comments/1p5m7su/lost_so_much_money_im_getting_suicidal_thoughts/) Don't be this person. No one has recommended Suze Orman, but her basics are wonderful and still apply. Her old TC show videos are on YouTube. Avoid debt. People who use the phrase "good debt" are not your friends. Yes, we have a housing crisis in the US, and yes, you nearly always get into the housing market by taking a mortgage. But understand how you are the equity partner in that relationship and use it to your advantage. Never carryover a credit card balance. Never lend to others. If you give them money, consider it gone.

Public companies are not legally required to do earnings calls, they just need to file financials with the SEC, wtf are you on about? The CEO isn't the one who files them either but the directors as a whole. Nvidia pays their employees in stock options as part of the total compensation package. Those stock options have made up over 90% of their salary. This email is to them, sorry your TC is going to suffer potentially, his job as a CEO is to look after the company, that includes his employees. Was this published publicly, no. Also earning calls are for the investors, they only care about money or the direction of the company (which leads to money), the implications he brings up are related to the direction of the company.

Those are some juicy RSUs. What is your TC?

During the last negotiation, the union got an average TC of $140k (driver), including no-premium healthcare and 7 weeks vacation. It's just the matter of time before the ax comes. Kidding aside, UPS hired 100,000 people during the COVID time frame and have been letting people go since then. It's just part of the boom-bust cycle.

Corrected my comment. Either ways, he's not go change anything. We both don't need to fight. We gain nothing out of this argument. You're a learned man. Wish you well. TC

Diversification since a significant portion of their TC is tied to stocks; Q3 increases YTD to ~50% after antitrust case ruling in favor vs. public expectations + major flagship releases (2.5 Pro/Nano Banana and new gen devices in Q3) are already priced in, etc. even more motivated on risk in a volatile market from the gov's fickle policies since their trading window closes (this is now old info obv but not for OP's timing lol)

My TC has remained the same for 3 years. That doesn’t happen in finance lol.

Amazon’s infamous to be one of the worst Mag7 companies to work at for engineers. Apple might be lower too because their TC isn’t great but at least people enjoy working there.

This isn't their salary. This is their TC.

The 100k H1B thing feels like a way for big tech like GOOG and MSFT to justify outsourcing more jobs...the TC between a normal eng vs an outsourced one probably saves a lot more than 100k, not to mention it's a lot easier to fire H1B vs a normal worker. Market's probably going to love this

I'm not ultra-rich, but I'm self-made at 34 with a little over $2mm in my brokerage account and a huge home with a 2.5% mortgage from the COVID era. My wife and I are both working pretty demanding jobs and make about $850k in TC between us. We could easily scale back now and make $250k/year selling options or even FIRE. What keeps us going is that I have 4 children under 5 and zero confidence that there will be any jobs left for humans by the time they finish school, or any ability to own a home. I feel like if we can work at this level for a few more years we can double our investments and make $500k/year selling options instead, which will allow us to build true generational wealth that will allow us to get homes for our children and allow them to live well as adults even if all they can do is live off their inheritance.

I wouldn't look just at airlines, but also at manufacturers. These companies aren't just operators (Archer doesn't even want to be an operator at all). I'd look at Boeing, Airbus, Gulfstream, etc. The fact is, there's a lot of places that these eVTOL companies can differentiate. And I can make the case that air taxi costs could compete with Uber, straight up, for certain niche routes. [Unit Economics](https://www.reddit.com/r/JobyAviation/comments/1moedpb/joby_unit_economics/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) For instance, an Uber from Manhattan to JFK airport (just looked it up) would be >$150. Joby's unit costs could be $55 per seat for that same route. And the air taxi would take 7 minutes vs the 60-90 minute range for any other ground transportation option. I think margins could flatten out over the very long term, but I also think these companies have a chance to differentiate over the short to intermediate term. It will have taken Joby 2 decades to go from concept to TC (and operations). That's how slow things move in aerospace. That means a first mover advantage has some staying power.

$TC - Pulled a 1-20 reverse stock split on Friday. Float of only 108k shares (at 13 USD only worth 1.43M). Very rare nano float. Sitting on $21.3M cash, more than its market cap, and hasn’t diluted all of 2025. Past reverse splits in TC have sparked big moves (+100% in Jan ’24 after 1:15 RS, +100% in Oct ’20 after 1:4 RS). I guess question is not if it will be "found", question is just "when". Tuesday?

$TC recently executed a 1:20 reverse stock split, reducing its float to around 108k shares. With $21.3M in cash and funding for about 54 months, its cash burn is minimal. The company hasn't issued dilution for 2025 yet, and its cash reserves exceed its market cap.

ya i know it's wide but but it's too high for regular TC once new hire package cliffs. I'm very familiar with 6-8 people and my understanding is that 8 aligns with 750-800 (again not counting gsu appreciation) i know someone who trampolined promo l5 -> meta e6 and got competing offers (tiktok, apple, uber i think). zuck threw them 500k in initial grant + sign bonus, most of the makeup value comes as bonus so whenever you get refresh it doesn't feel like you are getting "less"

shasta747

L6 is the level where the TC band is extremely wide as G doesn't give new hires L6+ unless you're a proven 10x. And yes, that L6 was new-hire package. Dude was L6 at Meta, got sacked by Zuck (non PIP related, the whole team was cut), AMZN gave him the top range of Principal and Google matched.

I'm in APLD KTTA TLRY TC ONDS Any i should worry about dropping?

No disrespect but how tf L8 only make $750k TC? I see L6-L7 is pushing this TC, are you in SRE?

>Having an opportunity doesn’t mean much on its own. But that's not where I started. I laid out milestones for Archer and even mentioned a potential obstacle (litigation). I then mentioned how their marketing and agility has shrunk the lead that Joby had. I also talked about how companies can corner a market even with a lesser quality product with marketing and agility. While I suspect the 18-month lead came from somewhere and was valid at some point, it is now far less than that or they (Joby) would have their TC by now considering when it is estimated Archer would have theirs. Also, if that lead is 6 months or less, then that means nothing to the government based on their timelines anyway. From their perspective that'd be a tie. Which may still be true even if there is a 1-year lead. Considering this and the evidence of a shrinking Joby lead, it's not inconceivable that Archer could overtake them. Provided the sufficient opportunity.

Two years ago I had >100 direct/indirect reports. I was miserable because I got in to this to write code not babysit spreadsheets. I swapped down to leading a smaller team (15±2) and it wasn't much better. I swapped again to what was supposed to be an IC role a few months ago but still had a handful of direct reports and spent 60% of my time in meetings. My official last day is at the end of September but I've boxed up my laptop for return and don't have any meetings next month. The package was roughly 1 year's pay, vesting of my outstanding stock, and 6 months of benefits. I'm probably retired now. I own my house. I've been saving 2/3s of what I take-home for a decade so there's enough money to support a middle class family until I die. Unfortunately none of my friends are in a similar situation. I can play video games or go for a hike but everyone I know has 25+ years of work ahead of them. Getting to the party decades before the rest of my friends might be a mistake. I can always go get another job but I suspect it'll be hard to land >$750k/year TC. Taking a 2 year vacation just to end up doing the same work for half the pay might be something I regret…

Nice one! I have also one to check out Might want to look at $TC – Top overnight setup! Unreal 108k float after 1:20 R/S yesterday. Nobody’s on it right now, borrow is 0, and the setup is ridiculous.

Might want to have a look at $TC. $TC just pulled off a 1:20 reverse split and nobody noticed in today’s trash tape. The result? A **float of only \~108k shares** — basically the lowest on all major US exchanges right now.
