That are great news! It's about time that YouTube focus more on learning content! I'm building a platform where people can connect who consume the same YT videos. I fell like the comment section is a horrible place for educational content. Would love to hear your thoughts on my project. It's https://www.baselog.co
No equity of our company but I will get some RSU's and since they are a public company they are limited how much they can hand out and the majority will be in cash and some of it combined with a earn-out.
Some very good point! Thanks a lot. We already covered a lot of these points but some need to be addressed. I hope we will discuss the base salary with decision makers and not only HR who is not that much involved in the whole acquisition process.
It is indeed a big company. Definitely a good point, but they should have a little scope. I should start with the pay bands and find some good arguments why I want to move up in the payroll.
It's definitely acqui-hire, too. That makes sense! Thanks for the perspective. I'm just wondering what arguments to bring to these types of conversations.
I don't want to be cheeky with them, but at the same time I expect something more than industry standard. The problem is that I have never worked as an employee before and salary negotiations are new territory for me.
I strongly believe that the next big thing is education! School and university systems are stuck. So I believe now is the time for the education industry to be disrupted. Elon Musk's Synthesis school is one example that is taking off rn. But topics like lifelong learning and education in work environment are equal interesting and have a huge potential.
We bootstrapped our company all the way even though we tried to raise VC money but failed. However if you keep grinding and can manage growth there is a clear path how you can become successful without external funding. We got acquired after 2.5 years without looking for an exit.
