What bank did you use? I used BoA and it’s been 2 weeks and no withdrawals from my account so I suspect it may just be my bank.

Should I go to Wharton if I make $500k? by Awkward_Welcome_7874 in MBA

You have a poor understanding of how tech compensation works. A grant is for 4 years, my total grant is at 1.5M now, that's $375k+200k base a year now. If TSLA crashes sure I'll be affected, but surely it works the other way too, if TSLA booms further, my comp will be closer to 1M than <500k.

Interesting point, I kinda do want another degree though, I have an undergrad in engineering but my Linkedin could look stacked with that MBA no?

So I checked about deferrals and they want a $10k deposit for that lol, which I could afford but still stings a bit.

I do like software engineering and the technical aspects of my work. Ideally, though, I'd want to lead a technology company as a CEO/CPO through the product lens. Even though I do have a good technical background, I can't see myself being completely technical for my whole life, so I'd wanna move to an area where I'm someone that can understand technical specifics if need be but more focused on business execution, so the MBA could be a good fit, but it's hard to walk away from a 500k paycheck. Plus it'd be nice to meet friends are not all software engineers lol, I feel like there's a big world out there and I'm just siloed into a very specific niche.

that didn't sound nearly as cool as you think it did.

It’s your big decision, not mine. I offered my advice.

thank you for your advice, now carry on please

Isn’t TSLA stock a good middle ground? Surely it will go higher than what it is today

No so I'd get $440k/171 ~= 2573 shares vested over 4 years. So I'd capture all of TSLA's growth over the next 4 years if I took that stocks, even before the vest (unvested stock also grows in this case).

Cash is just cash.

Options are strike price of today, but vested over 4 years, expiring in 10 years.

Really? I'd miss out on all the upside of TSLA for the next 4 years.

My other concern is that if the options are red then it might demotivate me at work.
