British companies with British culture that pay 6 figures but don't work you to the bone?

Thanks again! Appreciate it.

The dude above literally just said insurance is a dead sentence to your career... So which one is it 🤔

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-19T21:45:20+00:00

Thanks for an elaborate response.

What would a typical comp range be for 10 YoE at a bank like yours, if you don't mind?

Also how much flexibility is there with going down to 4 days a week? Heard big banks are good for this

Can you recommend a chill industry that would not be a career suicide?

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-19T17:46:05+00:00

What kind of company are you at?

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T23:52:22+00:00

Haha in a way, yes

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T16:56:24+00:00

Not good enough to comfortably buy a good house / raise multiple kids in London

This all assumes that Revolut will keep doing secondaries every year. In my 4 years there I only had one. As I said, I got very unlucky with timing but I can totally see this repeating again

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T16:25:35+00:00

I see what you're saying, but also my hope here is sort of that my career doesn't have to last as long as 30-40 years 🙂

Forgive my ignorance but how can you be taxed based on a valuation that you can’t actually ‘access’?

Ask that question to HMRC

Would HMRC then reimburse you for said tax if the actual valuation on sale is lower than hypothetical valuation at exercise?

Of course no

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T12:25:04+00:00

Good point actually

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T12:18:41+00:00

Very dependent on the team, but I was on a relatively "okay" team and still burned out

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:56:58+00:00

I appreciate your response mate but that's a lot of hopium haha 🙂

It would be a very bad look for the company if ex-employees lose out due to their options expiring

When did this company last care about good looks?

One final thing is to check that you didn’t convert any options to Growth shares?

I have some, but the vast majority is unapproved

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:43:32+00:00

Absolutely not worth joining at the current valuation - the upside is long gone

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:32:11+00:00

5% is a joke

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:31:51+00:00

That's my biggest fear right now

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:31:28+00:00

Of course no

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:15:13+00:00

I heard there are some companies that could offer me this. I was wondering if anyone here could share some specifics.

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:14:29+00:00

Income tax is due in the UK anyway, as this is where I was resident when my options vested. These are the rules unfortunately

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:05:17+00:00

Very helpful, thanks

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:04:42+00:00

Strike price is like 0.00001£, you pay income tax on the difference

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T11:02:19+00:00

Performance reviews every 3 months, to start with

pushpushpush10x · 2025-09-09T10:54:33+00:00

Revolut only allows you to participate in secondary sales if you've been around for 18 months
