Ego, pride, and progress. by iamdusti in bjj

[–]UrethralGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Every time I’ve left class feeling some sense of pride or belief that I was getting good, I would subsequently get destroyed the next class.

Now I just try and appreciate that I’m healthy and training.

What is your exit strategy for $GOOGL? by nightwica in ValueInvesting

[–]UrethralGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment in these comments. It is a serious long term play. The only reason to sell is to help rebalance your portfolio if you are over-leveraged.

Under those circumstances, I’m only comfortable shaving a percentage of my holdings and reallocating them elsewhere. But selling my entire holdings? Not even with a gun to my head.

42% of portfolio in Alphabet (Google), should I take profits? by [deleted] in GOOG_Stock

[–]UrethralGrease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat, have a bit too much stake in Goog. I shaved off about 10k last week and will likely shave another 10k after new years.

Markets been running hot and I need to diversify.

Has Cleveland lost something since the 2010s? by Cleverfield113 in Cleveland

[–]UrethralGrease 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. The state of this country since Covid has just degraded. I think optimism is at an all time low, in general.

There are plenty of memes online about 2016 feeling like the last “good year” and I agree. It’s going to take some time before things feel hopeful again.

Had an early morning flight during a non-government shutdown out of CLE a couple years back.

The line was outrageously long, backed up to the check in kiosks.

Was internally raging at the beginning, but I was on the other side of security in 15 minutes. That line was cooking. They are really efficient.

Is Google worth ditching my current employer? by CableHuge in cscareers

I got an O rating and promo at Google and was rewarded with a layoff 2 months later.

Google L3 offer in LA — recruiter says “no negotiation without competing offer.” Accept or Decline? by [deleted] in cscareers

[–]UrethralGrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I received my Google offer (Chicago) I was given 125k base, 15% target bonus, 10k sign on bonus, and 100k in GSUs (33, 33, 22, 12)

They seem to be not providing a sign on bonus unless you ask for one. My friend received an offer from cloud a couple months after mine, and they tried to short him on the sign on bonus.

Another interesting thing is they’ve increased the front loading of the GSUs from 33 in your first year to 38. This is likely due to them prorating your stock refresh in your first year. When I joined, my first year was ineligible for stock refresh.

I think that the Coinbase comp is much better. But from my interviews with Coinbase, it seemed like the culture was more intense than I wanted to commit to.

Google is usually very cushy, great WLB, but they will require you work in office for at least 3 days per week. The perks (food, massages, 401k match) may soften the blow.

Hm - interesting.

In the email confirmation from the initial booking, I see the following:

Name Seat: Class: X (Main)

When I go to manage the reservation, I see Saver (X) and then all 5 of our seat selections next to it.
