I almost got offer from DoorDash, with obviously RSU as one of the compensation. Eventually didn't get the offer because they said I didn't pass leadership interview. Apparently I was interviewing at one level above I thought I was interviewing (the recruiter messed up).
Anyway, I accepted an offer from a hedge fund, comparatively similar, but all cash.
Now I feel that I am glad I accepted the hedge fund offer.
I don't have a property, not looking to get one due to HCOL high property prices and high interest rate.
My assets are mostly crypto and total stock market index. I think I'm good with my crypto investment for now (already filled my goals) so I am thinking to get more stocks.
As someone with just cash compensation, what can I do in this downturn to make a lot of money in the stock market? Maybe I just stick with the old boring Apple.
I just left a hedge fund to join aws. Even the aws is famous for its worst WLB and toxic culture, it is much better than the hedge fund I worked for. Knowing many friends switched from finance to tech, I found no one regretted.
Plus the TC is still much more than HF even after the 40% drop.
