I use Site44. It's hosting synced to your Dropbox folder.

Just edit your index.html locally and it's pushed when your Dropbox syncs.

I did the [Computer Architecture and the Hardware/Software Interface](https://bradfieldcs.com/courses/architecture/) course and really enjoyed it.

I applied for the CSI program and really hope I get to do it this coming year. I got a ton of value out of the above course ($1800).

The CSI course is 10-20 hours a week for the year.

Lastly, up to this point I've been self-taught through Udemy. The problem with that is, sometimes, if you're stuck on something, it might take you 8 hours or more to figure it out. Where if you have someone knowledgeable, they can explain it in 15 minutes. Bradfield seems to do the best at that.

I've tried hiring a tutor outside of a MOOC and asking them for help, but it wasn't quite the same as a teacher who is actively engaged with the material.

Very true. The engineers in California (most of us) pay 40%.

No problem!

Facebook vests quarterly - there actually isn't a one year cliff. In the last picture, salary + signing bonus + (4 * Quarterly RSU) + expected year end bonus gives you the total pay for the first year.

It's not traditional actually. We vest quarterly, and I've sold my stock as soon as I've received it (two vest days so far). My third vesting is November 15th.

The last picture gives you my estimated total comp for the year, $343k. It will be something close to that unless $FB has a major change between now and next vesting date in February 2020.

I just checked Wealthfront and it says my rate is 44%. I'm working on increasing it to ~60%.

No problem! I appreciate your support.

I've sold my stock as soon as it's vested. I'm already overexposed to Facebook.

Those are for four years - I'll edit the text to explain that.

From February until October 5th, I lived at [NEMA](https://www.rentnema.com/) downtown in SF. I was in a 450 sqft. apartment, and it was $3270/month. I absolutely hated it. NEMA was fine, but SF is not for me.

On October 5th, I just moved down to Menlo Park next to FB. I'm in a 3BR 1BA which is $1850/month. It's much better here.

That's a good point - I added a small conclusion which possibly helps.

No moral lesson here - I suppose my point is that you rarely get to have such a clear-cut comparison of what would've happened if you took the other path at the fork in the road.

I can see where it comes off as gloating, though. Do you think I should modify this to focus more on the fork aspect? (genuine question)

When I chose Facebook, I believed that Uber was a better offer. A $100B+ valuation for them seemed plausible to me. I thought I was going to be making $35-55k less.

So, I actually was not a genius here. It was total luck.

People rarely examine their non-decisions ("what would my life be like if I went left at that fork in the road?"), and I thought this was a particularly clear-cut example of that.

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. This is correct.

I've never worked somewhere where challenging leadership is so encouraged.

Thanks, this is helpful.

Why do we care if every integer not equal to 4 or 5 modulo 9 is the sum of three cubes? Just for fun?

I grew up next to Dallas and just moved from Austin a few months ago. Both cities value relaxation quite a bit.

Naturally, there are motivated people and pockets (that will probably comment on this), but those are exceptions. That's what caused me to move.

I chose Facebook over Uber on 1/18/2019, which grossed me $92k.
