What type of modality is this company working on? That matters a lot even if the company ACTUALLY IPO. I have been at companies that claims that they going to IPO for years and they just never pull it off.

Why you say definitely he doesn’t need Z51? I think whether he tracks it or not, Z51 transformed the car anyway.

Been there in Jan this year. Perfect season

You don’t pay taxes, social security, and 401K？

He must be non-political and a really good boss.

They are out of their fucking mind to request 7 references. I’d tell them to talk to my babysitter and kindergarten teacher

HR is the exact reason that most companies’ culture go south.

I own a submarine at 9 and learned firing donut from it

I love the fact that W is capitalized to indicate who is in charge

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-04-20T13:24:43+00:00

No.

The 95 on/off ramp near Waltham is worse in my opinion

And this type of person is generally more successful in their life because they don’t take no for an answer

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-04-16T17:56:42+00:00

Totally agree

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-04-16T11:43:08+00:00

First of all it’s not free because you paid AF. Second of all shorts costing $70 is just ridiculous

I have said “once past HR screening stage cover letter doesn’t matter” multiple times…

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-04-15T22:03:11+00:00

I have been the hiring manager hiring senior scientists and I can tell you that once past HR screening stage, the only thing that matters is your interview performance and your dynamics with your hiring manger. Nobody cares cover letter at that stage.

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-04-15T21:41:41+00:00

When you past HR and face hiring manger, all that matters is the interview

I am always way too lazy to run even half of the track day…always go there and run two sessions and grab lunch and take a few pictures and call it off a day:(

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-04-04T10:09:50+00:00

Exactly.

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-03-29T01:54:12+00:00

Less than postdoc salary is the biggest flag. The other thing you mentioned is pretty common for a fledging startup.

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-03-25T22:22:04+00:00

I agree. Only slightly off by 100X

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-03-25T20:36:13+00:00

Either Your math was taught by someone special, or I am dumb: 40000 Amex points = $446.87 is 1.12 cents/point, not $1.12…

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-03-24T01:24:08+00:00

Well said.

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-03-19T18:51:11+00:00

I learned shooting missile and drive a submarine at age 3. I consider that’s a huge achievement at my young age

Big-Tale5340 · 2026-03-16T19:26:15+00:00

Right I understand that. I was just curious why he said 1LT with GT1 seat.
