I’d be excited to see a career advising service helping tech EAs earning-to-give select, interview at, negotiate with, and read the equity terms of, top startups
I (A) do this (except for the equity-terms part!), and (B) agree this is a really low hanging fruit, there is so much optimization that can be done in most job searches.
Training for good
I talked to them (to Steve) at EAG and we exchanged a few emails since, comparing our approaches. Thank you for the advice, indeed relevant.
Equity terms:
I don’t read them since I’m not a lawyer and don’t even know how those things work outside of Israel. I give my mentees my priors, and for the Israeli ones, I offer them to talk to a lawyer I trust (my lawyer. Though he does charge. I don’t get percents or anything of course).
I don’t know Michael Dickens [edit: Ah, he wrote the earning-to-give post], but if I could maybe refer people to him for reviewing equity terms, I think this would be useful
Aiming for startups instead of BigTech
I’m not convinced, and this is very relevant for me so I’d be really happy to discuss it [edit: I see you replied to some of it, thanks!].
Here is my main kind-of-objection, and here are some thoughts about the financial calculations (though I defer to you/michael on anything financial).
I’m also curious to explore the Meta Options model, which I didn’t yet.
P.S
I am convinced enough to point people to the post. Also, calculations such as you he did there are really good tools/resources for me, just so you know I actually care about it
