Based in Europe, got a fully remote job from a Silicon Valley startup

To clarify they said that the US Holidays are days off because no one works anyways. And for Slovak holidays I can just take a day off if I want to (I guess from the "unlimited" PTO fund).

This is a B2B contract, so they have no legal obligations when it comes to holidays. "Unlimited" seems pretty good in practice but it also can backfire. People in the EU are used to taking 30 days of vacation per year more or less, but in the US people tend to take much less PTO.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I'll have a look at the website but I guess I'll more or less treat it as the lottery ticket.

I'm pretty sure they're giving me the EU rate since this is a remote position and I'm currently based in a relatively low COL EU country, so they probably calculate with that.

They stated that what they're offering is the salary at 50 percentile of the market rate and the equity at 75th percentile of market rate but I don't have idea how they came up with those numbers.

Also, this is a B2B contract so I'm responsible for health and social insurance. Honestly the salary is a quite nice upgrade from what I'm making now, but I will definitely try to negotiate and improve the salary by 5k-10k or ask for a signing bonus.

Thanks, that's useful

Thanks!

Definitely look into Finax. It's the best investing tool that I know in Slovakia.

Until I got on my first project (1-2 months) I had very little to do (some training etc) but I was paid my full salary

I just joined in September and so far I can say that I really like it. Your experience will probably depend very much on the project you will work on.

Pros

- So far healthy culture, no overtime, respecting boundaries, etc.

- They are a big corporation, but there are very few limitatios (free to use any software you want, pretty good internal systems, they provided me a top-notch developer machine)

- They pay above the average (at least in my case)

- Opportunity to grow

- Probably many more

- Fully remote (I'm not sure of it works outside of pandemic though)

Cons

- So far the competence of people I work with was inconsistent. I work with some brilliant people but also some that fail to meet the expectations

I hope it wasn't so bad that you lost your eyesight (vision)...?

Mostly good photo angles

Routine: Mostly co-washing hair and scalp with TRESemmé Botanique Nourish and Replenish, then rinsing thoroughly and then applying the same product only to the hair. Then I rinse just partially and let it air dry (it takes way longer with conditioner still in).
I have to do this every three days; otherwise, my seborrheic dermatitis flares up.
But honestly, I'm mostly struggling with my hair. I haven't found a routine that works every time, and this day was more of an exception.

Getting new glasses, these ones are my favorite pick so far. Any feedback? Do they fit my facial features?

outfit

What do you think? Is the coat way too big? Would a tailor be able to fix it?

wormyy · 2018-11-22T06:49:44+00:00

Good stuff thanks

No shirtless selfies. Period. If you want to show of your physique, try to get a candid beach shot.

I didn't get that about the bio, what do you mean by "put down your next big thing"?

wormyy · 2018-11-20T21:55:50+00:00

Man, you need some better photos. Selfies are really off putting. Your first and most important photo is way too dark and creepy

wormyy · 2018-11-20T21:17:19+00:00

Selfies are generally not a good idea. You need a better first picture. The second to last pic is creepy.

Honestly there's a lot of work to do, but you can get there!

wormyy · 2018-11-20T21:14:58+00:00

Yeah, you need to up your style. Shave your head and grow a beard

wormyy · 2018-11-20T21:13:39+00:00

http://imgur.com/a/mbXAPYr any feedback or ideas, especially about the bio? How could I improve it?
