Recently I heard from my friends that companies started giving referral bonus of $10k for eng hires. I used to get $5k per referral. Just wanted to know what's the cost of hiring today and how referrals save money to the company?

I work in a hot startup in SF with >150k salary and >1.5M in stock options at current valuation. I have an idea which i'm yet to implement and work it out. I have heard from my friends if you have to work on your idea you have to quit.

Should i quit my job and start working on my idea?

I have a great salary at the age of 23 and if my idea fails i'm losing a good job with >150k salary and 1.5M in stock options which might go 5X according to my calculations.

What should i do?

So i work in a big corp and recently accepted an offer from a startup and i would like to validate my offer with a lawyer who understands startup equity and who has done this before.

HN experts. Referrals please.

So I have accepted a startup job offer yesterday and they just got my documents to work on H1B Transfer. But they have told that once i get the H1B receipt notice from USCIS instead of waiting till the approval date. And, I'm planning to give notice to my current employer when i get H1B receipt notice itself. Should i give my employer the notice when i get the H1B application confirmation receipt or should i wait till i get my H1B transfer approved?

Have you done the H1B transfer? How long it took for you and what problems you have faced? Have anyone got denied in H1B transfer ever?

P.S: I work in one of the big corps in bay area and i'm moving to a startup of more than 200-250 employees. Looking for help. Thanks!

Im curious to know about this t-shirt startup where people create design and sell them based on the demand. What might be the cost of making a basic Teespring T-shirt and what might be their margin?

I'm working in a big corp and I just got an offer from a growing startup. The offer is around 2X my current unvested public stocks. What do you think? How can I improve my negotiation skills and negotiate?
