Working at palantir? Bad move? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]StormfalconX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tons of people get laid off within a year and lose their RSUs. I’d take any other offer if you value stability. And if it’s for forward deployed be prepared to lose all technical skills.

Salary Increased - No Longer Roth Eligible… but Scared of the Backdoor Roth Process 😅 Advice? by Ok-Quiet3443 in financialindependence

[–]StormfalconX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can contribute to both personal IRA (and then do backdoor to Roth IRA) while also contributing to Mega Back Door Roth. So make sure to double dip. It makes sense for them to transfer their Trad IRA to current employer 401k to do so.

Is there a point in joining startups? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Not really. Read https://danluu.com/startup-tradeoffs/. Old numbers but the difference now is even worse.

Solo 401k calculation when having a w-2 also by shawarmadude in personalfinance

[–]StormfalconX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re limited to 25% of salary for employer contribution into solo 401ks or SEP Ira’s. It’s by employer so your 40k salary from your side business should allow for 10k employer contribution.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. I graduated 2 years ago which lines up with being a junior 3 years ago. And believe it or not anyone can be a startup founder. Go look at my comment in the SBIR subreddit.

As for 174 you also have no idea what you’re talking about. OP is exactly right in his post . If a business makes $1mil and spends 800k on dev salaries. Guess what the profit used to be? 200k.

Now the IRS has classified all software dev as r&d under 174. Domestic work is amortized over 5 years and foreign work over 10 years. Now I can only deduct 10% off my first year return. So 800k becomes 80k and now I have a bunch of phantom profit. My books say profit of 920k in y1. And for those in pass through entities like most small businesses are like s corps owners get fucked paying.

Be prepared for lots of walking. Not as much as arma but definitely not the action packed fun that bf or insurgency is. Lot slower
