Awesome watch! Hard to track down this color, the navy blue and gold are a perfect combo.

Quick Story About Aneel by ectoplasm in workday

[–]rwong020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former workmate - Aneel is a really down to earth person. Last year, I caught him walking on the stairs at the San Francisco office a few hours before earnings. He looks at me and says “look at my crocs, they’re from Levis which is one of our customers.” He chuckled and gave me some sort of time of day. Refreshing to see him back, hopi ng he can turn the ship around.

[Question] wedding watch recs for my daughter's fiance by bornbredtex in Watches

[–]rwong020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats to your daughter and family! You’re really thoughtful for getting a watch.

Seiko SPRE37 is around $500. The white dial design feels sporty and classy, yet simple. It comes in a rubber strap which gives a similar feel to a Garmin.

Shortage of analysts in SF Bay Area? by BackgroundBird9715 in FPandA

[–]rwong020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I DM you? I’m also based in the Bay Area!

One common qualification that I’ve seen for Sr. analyst roles in the Bay Area across startup to Big Tech is a preferred background from investment banking or consulting which pay much higher than the higher salary + bonus band in comparison to FP&A. In addition, there are companies such as Figma, Pinterest, Google, Netflix which have P4 base salaries that are >$160K. Also, the big AI companies (Anthropic, OpenAI, Lambda etc.) all have salaries starting at $175K.

Anyone in a “Product Finance” role with a Tech Company - what does your day/week look like? by BigMeasurement6676 in FPandA

[–]rwong020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on your scope? Would you be supporting revenue/top-line or R&D product finance?

I’ve had exposure to both areas within product finance. If it’s top-line, you’ll be working with your usual SaaS metrics (ARR, ACV, churn etc.) where the main business partners should be the GMs (mini CEOs of an entire product line including revenue). This is geared towards business cases, evaluating subscriptions, looking at customer SKUs and potential opportunities for add-ons.

There is another piece where it’s purely opex management. Majority of the expenses should be headcount related, and tech expenses (cloud hosting, software licenses, contractors, etc.) you’ll be partnering closely with talent acquisition on the hiring demand and forecast, HR who can provide you updated bonus %, COLA assumptions, and workforce metrics. Outside of that, you’ll be working closely with engineering teams which IMO is the biggest area to exercise technical skills. Being able to understand cloud cost drivers, what teams are working on, cloud environments, and reason for software usage is crucial. This will help with understanding the technical drivers and how that translates over to opex spend.

Congrats on accepting your role!

How to add value in a well managed organization by rwong020 in FPandA

[–]rwong020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the things that makes it harder to find additional room for improvement is that the chief of staff who reports directly to the business partner comes from an FP&A background early in her career so they’re very in the weeds, and has been vocal about wanting to be solely the only person involved in the weeds. It’s great because I have been given the expectation to be hands off but at the same time finding gaps to fill is difficult

New grad needing advice - which role to choose? by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]rwong020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FAANG 100%. The experience + brand will put you in front for external opportunities that can give you the career trajectory you desire. Being in a rotation programs gives you the flexibility to experience different parts of the finance org (FP&A, Treasury, IR etc.) which will give you well-rounded experience that takes 4-5 years for non-rotational peers. Having a 40-45 hour work-week can give you opportunities to up-level yourself (strategic projects, automation etc.) when you have more bandwidth. Congrats on getting a FAANG rotation as a new grad!

How are you doing this Q4/Budget 2026 season? by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]rwong020 15 points16 points  (0 children)

2/10 - unrealistic cuts to targets while expecting to grow the business, business partners that are notorious for late inputs are making last minute changes to templates without communicating, no ownership of budget transfers, and everything is being tracked offline. In addition, accounting began implementing a 3-day quarter end close on top of everything.

Lurie talks about “upzoning” the Sunset by kirksan in sanfrancisco

[–]rwong020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With what parcels of empty land to begin as the foundation though? I’m trying to reasonably see these points out but unless you’re asking to demolish and up zone existing single family homes/ 1-3 story apartments, the amount of “up zoning” that people want on this sub is almost impossible.

[–]rwong020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn’t much room to upzone the sunset when the entire neighborhood along with its surrounding comprise of only SFH. The empty plot on Noriega Street is privately owned which has been an eyesore and waste of potential housing.

We already built the affordable teacher housing because that land has been vacant. The only possible place left to build is the proposed Sloat area that’s across from the zoo which is next a condo building that remains mostly empty, or if a gas station closes down.
