I'ved used Privacy.com for a few years now and it is a superbly excellent tool. I highly recommend their product for personal and business use.

Privacy and helps keep track of subscription expenses and helps me maintain/be aware budget and/or subscription increases.

The only downside occurs when you are trying to process a refund for a card that was already closed.

I've been in Austin for a number of years.

Austin has the whole "supply chain" of startups - from accelerators to large & mid-size technology companies. The network is close-knit but easy to access and people are very friendly here. Combine all of the aforementioned with the cost of living (albeit, it's increasing) and you have a great city to live in.

Highly recommend.

If you end up coming out here, please let me know and I'll buy you a coffee and am happy to introduce you to others/local events.

Happy to join you for coffee!

I am a HN luddite and have no idea how to PM you through this platform, but feel free to PM me if you know how :)

Following up - The advisor is just being lazy and doesn't want to read the ACTUAL SAFE Note, and would prefer an abridged version (i.e Term Sheet).

A Term Sheet is a non-binding document that highlights the details of a Financing Note (in this case, the SAFE)

I like it!

I am in Austin as well - if, in the future, you ever need any Operations/Finance help, don't hesitate to reach out :)

Best of luck!

I did not cross over from Software Engineering, but did transition from Engineering to Finance.

I would suggest understanding what part of Finance is the most interesting to you. Are you interested in Technical Analysis (i.e focusing on characteristics of the market as opposed to characteristics of the company) or do you find Fundamental Analysis more interesting (i.e interested in the core business of a company and their published financials)?

If you are interested in Technical Analysis, I would suggest taking a few courses online to understand trading strategies. If Fundamental Analysis is more appealing, I would focus on taking courses in Accounting.

Once you have a foundation in investment strategies, try producing content on Quantopian.com - build a portfolio and search for positions at firms.

If you have a strong enough interest, a firm will pick you up.

I really don't understand all the hate that Linkedin gets on HN.

In my opinion, Linkedin is one of the better social networks - devoid of clutter and politics since each posting is connected to your professional network/appearance.
