4/26    We have a job applicant where his expected salary seems a bit high and
        I'm curious what he made at his last job.  What would you expect for a
        tech support lead for a large school district in the SFBA?
        \_ normally this type of info is requested on a job application
           but is only given to the hiring manager and HR. -shac
           \_ Personally, I almost always leave that blank on application
              forms.  I don't think its information that's relevant until
              they've decided they're interested.
        \_ It's not unusual to ask this.  (I find it grating as an applicant,
           but it's not unusual)
        \_ Call his former employer and ask.

1/16    Fred Wilson says you should focus on the cash value of your
        options, not the percentages:

        \_ Or at least, so says a VC trying increase his profit margin...
        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.

        According to this report, 28.8% of the jobs in the
        Sunnyvale-San Jose-Santa Clara area are considered IT. Is this
        bullshit or what? What about all the restaurants, cleaning,
        retail, and a shitload of other non-IT jobs in the area?
        Just walk around Santa Clara, a bunch of people there are

12/15   Does anyone have experience investing in apartment buildings
        I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
        to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
        for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the
        application. I'm in a position to buy a building, but I've
        got no experience with this, and I don't want to learn that

        Very true. Compared to the high school jocks who used
        to be popular, my salary gets better and better
        and my wife is younger/prettier.          -nerd
        \_ Same for me on the salary front, but as a nerd how did you manage to
           get a younger/prettier wife than the jocks?  -- nerd #2
