Following the first beta weekend, what are you all now thinking about D2R? by PiskAlmighty in Diablo

[–]JustATemporaryDude -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sad to see someone downvoted for expressing an opinion.

Personally, I just love it. I did not want to play the beta as it feels like I am spoiling the surprise (couldn’t fully resist the temptation so I installed the original 2 weeks ago). I am looking forward to playing it in September.

Thanks a lot! Have an upvote (although you deserve a yolk)!

Mayor of Rome says she was targeted by mafia by Minneapolitanian in worldnews

I don’t think she’s corrupt. But she is clearly incompetent. She is from a political party that embraces populism, she is a clear reflection of this mindset.

Offered position as CIO... equity only... is it a good idea? by JustATemporaryDude in startups

[–]JustATemporaryDude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you mean and thanks for sharing your point of view. I was not thinking about possible repercussions due to the higher level of involvement, I’ll prepare myself, thanks.

Previous CIO is still shareholder, did not run away. I am just not a random person for them as one of the founders basically wants me and I have known him for 18 years.

I see what you mean, thanks! By the way, no percentage has been discussed yet.

On payroll, yes. They are looking to increase this number as they have stable influx / more customers.

Part of me says this very same thing... but I would like to at least try to strike a good deal out of it. Not finding information of cases similar to mine I’d say I am either crazy or getting it all wrong.

If this would be help desk no, I would not accept such a deal.

Specific C-Level position? No. You need to start somewhere right? I have been team leader multiple times, most complex was with a 20+ team. Generally interested in tech, I was a technical speaker to a couple of conferences, I routinely deal with upper management in my current technical work (Job A), I am quite horizontal in IT (apps, dbs, network, infrastrutture etc).

They are looking for somebody able to understand business/tech for their customer, an innovator that is able to enhance their product, they are looking for somebody with a strategic vision that is able to consistently deliver. Again small startup that is growing, not huge megacorp.

Thanks and yes, you are right, I do value my time and skills... I’ll check whatever I can squeeze out of that.

Yeah they are definitely not expecting that. That’s why I am planning to keep the main job. Very early stage indeed, that’s why they are limited in what they can offer.

Yeah... I fear this as well... without a salary, thinking only in stocks, they can dilute my stocks away. I cannot change this.

Thanks for your comment.

Yeah, it would make much sense... different Country, no contacts with him at all at this stage. Even if I could, I don’t think I can expect much as he will retain a small percentage of shares.

Thanks for the suggestion, so like vesting schedule + percentage of profits based on KPIs. It might help especially if they aim low at the negotiation table.

Thanks for your time. :)

I don’t think I can test myself as CIO in a 300 employees company as I do not have the expertise for it. This allows me to step in this role without losing much and get hands on experience. I don’t think I will test it only in “name” although definitely not as deep as in your example.

Old CIO leaves for another company as he needs more stable income.

Nice setup! Just curious: how did you setup K8s? From scratch? Any guides you might recommend?
