-What tech skills sets do you have? Do you need a MS/PhD at your level? If not, does it help?
In school we learn the standard algorithms/data structures material, but I want to expand my horizons and begin learning what is applicable to industry.
I am very curious to learn what someone at your level has skills in. I'd like to pick up something not taught in school and begin hacking away on a project that will help me... which leads to my next question
-What are good beginner resources/tutorials you recommend to learn these skill sets? Are there any good projects you can point me to?
-Just curious. Does "550k with a roughly 55/45 equity/cash split" mean you make ~247,000 base + ~302,500 in stock options? I am not too familiar with how compensation is broken down.
